VISION
A world where the rule of Law secures human rights, justice and democracy

MISSION
To Promote Legal Empowerment and Access to Justice

A good way to ensure justice is to legally empower people to demand it. Legal empowerment equips people to understand their rights, secure their enforcement and pursue remedies when these rights are violated. MARG works for the legal empowerment of the vulnerable and the marginalized, women, children, persons with disabilities, dalits, the poor, etc.
