Advocate family Welfare Associations

The Informal Labor Welfare Federation (ILWF) is committed to safeguarding the rights and welfare of legal fighters—advocates and lawyers—who play a crucial role in upholding justice and securing the rights of individuals and their families. Despite their essential contributions to society, many advocates and lawyers work without adequate compensation or benefits from government and other organizations. Recognizing the need to support these professionals, the ILWF aims to establish comprehensive welfare programs to improve their working conditions and the well-being of their families. This includes providing financial assistance, educational support, health care, and housing solutions.
