A Platform for Legal Aid and Human Rights
SALAN is an independent digital platform dedicated to providing in-depth articles and analyses on legal aid, legal assistance, NGOs, and human rights. Our team of passionate journalists strives to inform the public with well-researched, objective content. While we honor the legacy of the Southern African Legal Assistance Network (SALAN), we operate independently, exploring broader issues in legal aid and social justice across Southern Africa and beyond.
This website serves as a resource for those seeking reliable information on legal advocacy, human rights, and social justice movements, fostering informed discussions and engagement.

Vision for the Future
We aspire to be a leading online resource for legal aid and human rights. By documenting historical insights, analyzing current trends, and featuring expert opinions, we aim to contribute to ongoing conversations about justice and equality.
