Bangladesh Legal Aid & Services Trust (BLAST)

Founded in 1993, Bangladesh Legal Aid and Services Trust (BLAST) is one of the largest and most respected legal aid organizations in Bangladesh. Headquartered in Dhanmondi, Dhaka, BLAST operates across the country with district-level offices, ensuring access to justice for vulnerable and marginalized communities. BLAST’s mission is to make justice accessible for all, particularly for women, children, workers, and disadvantaged groups. The organization provides free legal aid, public interest litigation, mediation, and advocacy on issues ranging from family disputes, labor rights, land conflicts, and gender-based violence to constitutional and human rights cases. With a strong presence in Dhaka, Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, and Sylhet, BLAST has built a reputation for combining grassroots outreach with high-level litigation. Its lawyers and paralegals work closely with communities to resolve disputes locally, while also pursuing landmark cases in the Supreme Court of Bangladesh. BLAST collaborates with NGOs, civil society organizations, and international partners to promote legal awareness and policy reform. Their initiatives include legal literacy programs, community mediation, and advocacy campaigns aimed at strengthening the rule of law and protecting fundamental rights. What sets BLAST apart is its commitment to social justice and inclusivity. By bridging the gap between communities and the legal system, BLAST empowers individuals to claim their rights and ensures that justice is not limited to the privileged few. For residents in Dhaka and beyond, BLAST is a trusted name in legal aid, combining professionalism, accessibility, and a proven track record in advancing justice and equality.
