WHAT DOES THE LAC DO?
The LAC's main objective is to protect the human rights of all Namibians. It works in five broad areas:
- Litigation
- Information and advice
- Education and training
- Research
- Law reform and advocacy
It is the only organisation of its kind in Namibia. It has a head office in Windhoek, Namibia's capital, along with two regional offices. It is funded by national and international donor organisations as well as individuals. Its work is supervised by the Legal Assistance Trust, whose trustees include legal practitioners, other professionals and community leaders.
