What We Do – Muslim Legal Fund

WHAT WE DO

We fight for justice, civil liberties, and human rights through strategic litigation, policy advocacy, and legal support. Our work ensures that individuals and communities facing unjust policies, discrimination, and systemic oppression are not left without legal protection.

OUR MISSION

DEFEND>STAND UP>SUPPORT>EMPOWER>

We take legal action to challenge discriminatory laws, uphold fundamental freedoms, and set legal precedents that strengthen protections for freedom of speech, civil rights, and social justice.

> DEFEND (STRATEGIC LITIGATION)

We fund and support legal challenges that defend civil liberties and challenge unjust laws. Our legal interventions focus on landmark cases that can create systemic change, ensuring that courts uphold human rights, political freedoms, and the right to protest.

> STAND UP (RESEARCH AND POLICY)

We conduct legal research and policy advocacy to influence laws and public policies that impact civil liberties. By engaging with regulators, lawmakers, and legal institutions, we work to ensure that laws protect, rather than restrict, fundamental freedoms.

> SUPPORT (GUIDANCE AND ADVICE)

We provide expert legal support to individuals, organisations, and advocacy groups facing legal challenges. Whether it’s defending employees, students, or activists, our work ensures that no one is left without representation in critical legal battles.

> EMPOWER (EDUCATION AND AWARENESS)

Through public education, legal workshops, and strategic partnerships, we equip individuals and communities with the legal knowledge and tools to stand up for their rights.
