Capacity Building of Lawyers on Human Rights and Migrant Protection Frameworks

SHARP Protection Team Karachi conducted a Capacity-Building Training with Lawyers on Human Rights, International Protection & the Legal Framework for Vulnerable (Migrant) Communities on 30 December 2025 at Mehran Hotel, Karachi.
 
In this shifting protection context, the training aimed to:
✔️ Enhance lawyers’ understanding of the post-IFRP legal framework
✔️ Clarify the application of the Foreigners Act, 1946 and related laws
✔️ Strengthen grounding in international protection principles & commitments
✔️ Build awareness on the protection needs of women, children & other vulnerable groups
✔️ Promote ethical, safe, and responsible legal practice in high-risk environments
✔️ Equip lawyers with harm-reduction and due-process approaches in current scenarios.
 
Participants from the Karachi Bar Association and Malir Bar Association actively engaged in discussions and case-based learning, reaffirming the crucial role of legal practitioners in safeguarding dignity, rights, and access to justice for migrants and displaced communities. 
 
Well done to the SHARP Karachi Protection Team for carrying out this meaningful initiative — strengthening legal response capacities and promoting rights-based protection for vulnerable communities.
