LEAN.in (Legal Empowerment Access Network, India) is a social initiative founded in November 2024 to address the legal information and resource gap faced by women from underserved communities in India. Despite women constituting 49% of India’s population, they face several deep-rooted socio-economic challenges when it comes to legal aid. Thus, by combining an action network of lawyers, partnering with legal firms and creating accessible, easy-to-understand legal literacy tools, this project aims to empower women to be able to better navigate their rights and access towards justice.

The Fund.In Legal Aid Support Drive, in collaboration with Hamari Pahchan, seeks to raise funds that support direct access to legal services for women in need. Through this fundraiser, LEAN.in aims to financially assist underserved women who are actively seeking legal aid, but lack the means to pay for essential elements like consultations, representation, and related support.

The funds raised will go into aiding Hamari Pahchan’s ongoing women’s legal empowerment programs, helping connect them to free or subsidized legal services and guidance. Our goal is to raise INR 1,50,000 to sustain and expand these interventions. Each and every donation will contribute to building  a more informed and gender-just society where access to legal help is not a privilege but a right.

So let’s all ‘lean’ in and make justice accessible together; because your contribution, no matter how small, will help give voice to women’s rights and power to their fight for a fairer future.
