Grassroots Justice Through Paralegal Mechanism

Before Nepal's 2015 Constitution, Paralegal Committees (PLCs) were vital for community-based justice. Established in 1999 to combat human trafficking, these committees expanded their focus to address various rights violations affecting women and children. Supported by organisations such as UNDP, UNFPA, UN Women, and UNICEF, PLCs played a crucial role in enhancing access to justice through advocacy, mediation, and early intervention.
