Mr. Md. Shariful Islam Secretary Barrah Union Parishad under Nawabganj Upazila in Dhaka District said that “elections will begin at the end of March. For this reason, the Chairman of the Union Parishad has come to the Union Parishad less. He is currently busy with public relations work. There are many committees in the Union Parishad, of which the Legal Aid Committee is one. Not all the committees are active but there are four or five committee activities. I will sincerely cooperate so that the Legal Aid Committee is always active and the clients can get help from this committee from our union parishad. We will discuss the budget allocation for Union Parishad to the meeting with the Upazila Chairman and UNO in our Upazila Parishad. After today's meeting, I will regularly post the pictures of this meeting and the pictures of those who are willing to take the District Legal Aid service and post them on the Union web portal and Facebook page”
Ms. Selina Khanam Dhamrai Upazila Women's Affairs Officer under Dhaka District said that “when a case is handled through the Legal Aid Panel Lawyer, it takes a lot of time and there is no possibility of the case ending in one or two years, then the clients become frustrated, and we also know that there are about two to four lac cases pending in the Dhaka court. It takes a long time to complete these cases, if we listen to the problems of the clients and if we can solve the problems here before sending them to the District Legal Aid Office Dhaka, then they will benefit from transport money and time. If we can't solve their the problem, we will send them to the District Legal Aid Office, In the office of the Upazila Women and Women's Affairs Officer, you will be able to co-operate in the meeting work regarding the activities of Legal Aid Support to disadvantage women”
Ms. Advocate Sohana Jesmin Vice Chairmen of Dhamrai Upazila under Dhaka The district said that “Many women in my Upazila are more victims of violence. I have seen that many women have come to my Upazila Parishad office who are victims of violence. I talked to them and gave them information on how to get legal advice, as well as District Legal Aid Office information. Today's sensitization session was very important because we learned a lot from the session, especially about gender and violence extremism. We benefited a lot from this training workshop”
Ms. Sornali Rani (Housewife 1 no ward, Jantrail Union under Nawabganj Upazila of Dhaka) said that the people of the village do not know about this legal aid issue. Dhaka is far away from our area so people don't want to go to Dhaka. Today I am aware of this issue and many people villagers inform me about this Legal Aid issue.
