We are URJA - Uniform Rights and Justice Assured

Vision

  • Sensitisation of women regarding their rights, thus, equipping them with the ability to raise their voice against atrocities and seek justice.

  • Working as a catalyst in bringing sustainable changes in the lives of underprivileged women and girls, along with the transgender community; with a life cycle approach of hope and progress.

  • To create a safe environment for women, wherein their rights are ensured, justice is imparted and no women are denied legal aid due to lack of awareness or access.

  • To provide legal counsel and advice to female jail inmates with lack of access, knowledge or awareness.

  • Enabling women from marginalised communities to achieve equality and justice through legal aid, counselling, and legal representation to ensure justice against the atrocities and discrimination against women. The primary goal remains to shift from a discriminatory to an egalitarian approach to legal awareness.

  • To equip female jail inmates with legal aid and counselling.
