Majlis Manch
Legal defence and courtroom representation
What they do
Founded by feminist lawyer Flavia Agnes, Majlis runs the Rahat programme: free, dedicated legal representation for survivors of sexual violence and domestic abuse, with an all-women team of trial lawyers and social workers who stay with a woman from the first FIR to cross-examination in court.
What your money pays for
Court filing fees, forensic paperwork, travel to hearings for survivors, and legal retainers for women who cannot afford a lawyer. Most survivors drop their cases because going it alone is too costly and too hostile. This keeps them in the fight.
