Awareness, Documentation and Advocacy for Legally persecuted groups (ADAL) is a project that aims to address systemic weaknesses in the legal and justice systems that contribute to the discrimination and violence perpetrated against Pakistanis on the basis of SOGIESC. The project seeks to empower activists, lawyers and other Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) to make the maximum possible use of international human rights law and mechanisms, and to raise awareness and change attitudes concerning systemic issues such as the continued discrimination, lack of domestic legal protections, the positive role of lawyers and other legal professionals in protecting rights and creating a fairer justice system without the fear of secondary persecution.

Another key focus of this project is security, physical as well as online.
