LEGAL LITERACY COMMITTEE
INTRODUCTION
Justice stands as the cornerstone and fundamental goal of every civilized nation. The primary objective of the law is to ensure justice, which is essential for the orderly progress of society. Issues such as child labor and human trafficking, which jeopardize public safety, often arise from a lack of awareness about basic legal rights, civil liberties, human rights, and constitutional protections. This ignorance prevents individuals from recognizing legal wrongs and seeking redress through the legal system. Therefore, it is crucial to promote legal awareness among the populace. The general public, especially the youth, should be informed about the laws that govern them so they can become responsible and law-abiding citizens. In this context, Legal Literacy Clubs in schools and colleges are vital. They not only enhance legal literacy but also empower young people to advocate for human rights and access to justice for vulnerable groups effectively.
