News India Live, Digital Desk: An important Shiva temple complex at Tangarbasli, under the auspices of DALSA (District Legal Services Authority), in Ranchi district of Jharkhand Legal Awareness Program (Legal Awareness Program) was organized. In this program the people of the area were made aware of many important things related to law. When we are educated and aware, we are not only able to defend our rights but are also able to raise our voice against injustice. This program was organized with this objective in mind.
What important issues were discussed?
The program mainly highlighted issues that the general public often faces trouble with or is less aware of:
- Free Legal Aid: This was one of the most important issues. People were told that there is no need to panic even if they do not have money to get justice. Organizations like NALSA (National Legal Services Authority) and SALSA (State Legal Services Authorities) provide free legal aid to such people.
- Domestic Violence: Domestic violence is a big problem in our society. Women were told what domestic violence is, how they can raise their voice against it and how the law protects them. There was also some discussion on the legal rights of men.
- Women’s Rights: Women were given important information like property rights, safety at work and legal rights related to marriage. They were explained that they are equal partners in the society and the law gives them full rights.
- Child Rights: People were given information about laws related to exploitation of children, right to education, child labor and their overall development. It is important for both parents and children to understand what legal protections the child has.
- Cybercrime: In today’s digital era, cyber crime is increasing very rapidly. Experts spoke in detail on how to avoid online fraud, cyberbullying and other cyber crimes, and how to report if one becomes a victim of such crimes.
Dalsa experts and panel lawyers were present at the event, who answered people’s questions and listened to their problems. Such programs empower people and make them realize that law is for everyone, and everyone has the right to get justice. This is a great initiative that brings change at the grassroots level
