Weekly activities for the duration of 05 August to 11 August 2022

Courtyard meeting: At the courtyard meeting held on the date 08.08.2022. 5 no ward Sholla union under Nawabganj Upazila, Ms. Nadia said that I went to the legal aid office once, as you came to the meeting and talked about legal aid and you listened carefully to us, They don't listen properly, The office assistant repeatedly stops them from talking openly, What is the point of going to the legal aid office after spending money from so far away if I can't speak? I am having trouble with my husband so this time I am going to the legal aid office through you with my problem.

Bi-monthly meeting: In the bi-monthly meeting held on the date 10.08.2022 Mr. Bashir Ahmed Chairman Kailail Union Parishad under Nawabganj Upazila Dhaka, I am already aware of Legal Aid's services, Three years ago I sent someone to the Legal Aid Office for legal help, But the way we tell people about legal aid services, they don't get services from the legal aid Dhaka office. If the lawyers do not demand money from them, they turn them around day after day, thus spoiling our image. And if you don't come and make a meeting then no one will remember about legal aid.
