Why Manual ?

In furtherance of ALF's efforts to make law accessible to marginalized groups this is a collection of Laws presented in a simplified form, to be used for training by Activists.

The manual originated from a feeling shared by many, that a labour rights education manual is the need of the hour. It is meant for activists working with unorganised labour. An awareness of rights does not mean that they will be implemented easily, but it is certainly important for further action and future strategies – legal or otherwise to gain those entitlements.
