South Asia Women Fund

Access to judicial processes to recognize rights and redress violations is the very cornerstone of the rights based approach. This is critical for ensuring all human rights, including women’s human rights. Hence, South Asia Women's Fund is launching The Legal Fellowships programme, which seeks to address the gap of adjudicating women’s rights cases through a feminist legal praxis, enabling a creation of a legal resource pool to support and work for the women survivors of violations. The programme is open to women lawyers, women human rights defenders with para-legal training working in small towns at the primary/lower court level in Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. The last date for applications is 31st January 2013. To read more about the programme and the application process please visit the SAWF home page at www.sawf.info. We request all friends to spread the word about this extremely critical programme. Please email us on sawfrgp@sawf.info or drop us a message on our facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/South-Asia-Women-Fund/124579188264?ref=stream ) if there are any queries/clarifications regarding the programme.
