Background

The Legal Aid Society (LAS) is a not-for-profit and non-governmental organization to ensure accessible, effective, and expedient justice for marginalized and underprivileged communities across Pakistan. Since its establishment in 2013 under the visionary leadership of Justice (R) Nasir Aslam Zahid, a former Judge of the Supreme Court of Pakistan, LAS has been working in three (03) different thematic streams; Access to Justice, Gender & Child Security, and Climate Resilience, Sustainability, & Security to empower communities and create a long-lasting impact to transform lives and judicial system.

From 1st of July, 2018, LAS embarked upon a landmark public-private partnership with the Government of Sindh through its Law Department to continue services of its Call Centre under the name of the Sindh Legal Advisory Call Center (SLACC). Staffed by High Court-enrolled lawyers, the Sindh Legal Advisory Call Center (SLACC) is Pakistan’s first toll-free helpline providing free legal advice to citizens from Pakistan. In view of the aforesaid, LAS is seeking the help of TV channels to help spread the name of SLACC, especially across Sindh.
