Bangladesh's National Legal Aid Services Organization has helped more than 1.2 million people since 2009. The group released a new report on its website that shows how many citizens received free legal help. Government lawyers worked on behalf of poor people who could not pay for court representation. The Legal Aid Services Act created this program to support people with money problems. Officials want every citizen to have equal access to justice.
Legal aid workers handled 428,301 court cases for disadvantaged people through May 2025. District offices across all 64 areas of Bangladesh assisted 978,992 individuals with legal problems. The Supreme Court Legal Aid Office provided support to 29,168 citizens during this period. Legal Aid Cells located at Dhaka and Chattogram helped 29,331 workers with their cases. These offices operate without charging fees to help vulnerable communities.
Citizens called the National Helpline at 16430 and received guidance 188,528 times. The toll-free number connects people with legal experts who answer questions about court procedures. Government officials say this program proves their commitment to protecting citizens' rights. Poor families can now fight legal battles without worrying about expensive lawyer fees. The Legal Aid Act makes these services available to anyone who meets financial requirements.
