Equallex Advocacy Foundation
In a country where thousands remain behind bars without trial, survivors are silenced by power, and public interest issues are buried under bureaucracy, Equallex Advocacy Foundation stands as a beacon of hope.
Legal Light in Dark Times
Justice for the forgotten. Power to the voiceless.
In a country where thousands remain behind bars without trial, survivors are silenced by power, and public interest issues are buried under bureaucracy, Equallex Advocacy Foundation stands as a beacon of hope.
We provide free legal representation, bail support, survivor protection, and strategic litigation to ensure justice is not a privilege but a right. Our work bridges the gap between law and lives, making justice accessible, equitable, and fearless.
Why Equallex Exists
Every day in India, justice is denied not because of guilt or innocence, but because of poverty and power.
- 3 out of 4 prisoners are undertrials, many jailed simply because they cannot afford bail.
- Survivors of violent crimes often face intimidation when perpetrators are politically or socially powerful.
- Public interest concerns—from environmental justice to housing rights—remain buried under bureaucratic red tape.
Equallex was created to bridge the gap between law and lives to make sure justice reaches those who need it most.
The Undertrial Crisis
India’s justice system is overflowing with undertrial prisoners:
- 75.8% of prisoners in 2022 were undertrials.
- Thousands spend years behind bars without conviction.
- Bail is denied, not because of crime severity, but because of poverty and lack of legal aid.
Equallex’s Response:
- Bail Clinics across states
- Filing Section 436A petitions for prolonged detentions
- Early representation to stop injustice at the start
Justice Denied by Cost
For millions, justice is simply too expensive.
- High legal fees exclude the poor.
- Public defenders are overburdened.
- The result: wrongful convictions and missed appeals.
Equallex’s Defense Desks:
- Free representation for those who cannot pay
- Case preparation and appeals support
- Legal literacy workshops so communities understand their rights
Survivors vs. Power
Survivors of crimes like rape, torture, and murder often face threats when the accused are powerful.
Equallex stands by them with:
- Protection petitions in court
- Trauma-informed legal support
- Challenging bail for high-risk offenders
Because courage needs legal armor.
Be the light in someone’s darkest hour.
