Project description: 
Democracy International (DI) aims to achieve three specific objectives through this assignment:
To measure different aspects of the experience of the justice seekers who received overnment legal aid services. To identify challenges that justice seekers, especially women and other traditionally vulnerable and marginalized groups, confront in accessing the government’s legal aid services, and to identify gaps in the capacity of the legal aid service providers, especially in serving women and traditionally vulnerable groups. 
DI identifies two sources of survey data to achieve the aforesaid objectives. 
Justice-seeking women who most likely are eligible for legal aid services and who may or may not have received it yet. We may call this the female sample. Legal aid recipients who already received aid or have been receiving it including those who received ADR services. We may call this the beneficiary sample. At least 50% of the beneficiary sample will be women. 
Women and other traditionally vulnerable groups (LGBT community, ethnic and religious minority) who received legal aid. We may call this the vulnerable beneficiary sample. Victims of trafficking in person, gender-based violence, and hate crimes who may or may not have received legal aid. We may call this the special sample. Service providers who work in the union, upazila, district legal aid committees, and panel lawyers. We may call this the service provider sample.
