Sama along with Chaupal, a local organisation in Chhattisgarh, organized a two days Legal Workshop with the CBOs and sangathans in Chhattisgarh on February 24-25, 2016 in Raipur. The focus of the legal workshop was to build an understanding towards provisions and associated processes with PWDVA (Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act), CLA (Criminal Law Amendment), POCSO (Protection of Children against Sexual Offences Act), and other related laws. A legal resource person from MARG organization, Advocate Noor Alam was invited to facilitate the sessions during this workshop. The participants were very keen to know about specific sections of law, knowledge of which they could apply while assisting any case or supporting any survivor as a part of their work.
