Khan Foundation seeks to increase citizen confidence in the justice system while empowering them to use the formal justice system to protect their legal rights and promote rule of law. Over the years, Khan Foundation has developed strong working relationships with judges, district judges, public prosecutors, lawyers, women lawyers, civil society organizations in an effort to improve public legal awareness on targeted legal issues and also to build additional constituencies not only for improvements in access to justice, but for other related reforms as well, such as independence of the judiciary. KF always tried to reach the very deprived and disadvantage groups, so quite naturally women had always been our focal target group.
