Working closely with policymakers, NLACW develops policy briefs, submits recommendations to Parliament, and actively lobbies for reforms that protect and empower women.

By ensuring gender equality is central to Zambia’s legal framework, NLACW is helping shape a society where women’s rights are recognised, protected, and upheld. The advancement of women is not just a cause — it’s a fundamental human right. #NLACW #WomensRightsZambia #LegalAidForWomen #GenderEquality #ZambiaAdvocacy
