Early history

During the early years, BNWLA's objective was centered around promoting female lawyers in Bangladesh. But gradually BNWLA expanded its operationalization in providing legal services to women who are victims of Domestic violence, Acid attack, Human trafficking and other forms of gendered human rights violations across the country.
