    LIRAD establishes legal empowerment clinics in underserved areas to provide free legal advice, assistance, and representation to marginalised populations, with a focus on sexual minorities, women, children, people living with HIV, and people living with disabilities.

    2. Policy Advocacy and Reform:

    LIRAD engages in targeted policy advocacy campaigns to influence legislative and policy changes that uphold the rights of key populations. This includes advocating for inclusive anti-discrimination laws, gender-responsive policies, and comprehensive HIV/AIDS policies.

    3. Training and Capacity Building:

    Our organisation develops training programs and workshops for legal professionals, human rights defenders, and community-based organisations. These programs enhance their knowledge and skills in areas such as human rights law, public interest lawyering, advocacy strategies, and organisational management.

    5. Research and Data Collection:

    6. Strategic Litigation:

    LIRAD engages in strategic litigation to challenge discriminatory laws, policies, and practices that impact key populations. This includes supporting landmark cases that have the potential to set legal precedents and bring about systemic change.

    10. Capacity Building for Government Institutions:

    We offer capacity building programs for government officials, law enforcement agencies, and judiciary personnel on human rights, gender equality, and disability rights. LIRAD also fosters dialogue and cooperation to enhance understanding and implementation of international human rights standards.
