While legal awareness is the natural starting point for legal empowerment, it has often to be followed by legal assistance in actually accessing rights. This is especially so for marginalized sections whose protracted vulnerability makes access to justice particularly difficult. Legal assistance can range from legal advice and counseling, to representation in court through litigation. MARG provides legal assistance through its network of lawyers and community justice workers in various parts of the country. MARG provides free legal assistance to the poor and the marginalized e.g. women, children, persons with disabilities, the poor. MARG’s lawyers have been providing legal counseling and in a few cases direct legal representation in courts. Legal assistance is also provided regularly through the Delhi Legal Services Authority.
