Mobilink Bank and Legal Aid Society Launch Initiative to Strengthen Women’s Inheritance Rights and Climate Resilience in Pakistan

Mobilink Bank

Mobilink Bank has entered into a strategic partnership with the Legal Aid Society to advance women’s inheritance rights and improve access to justice across Pakistan.

The initiative integrates legal support, financial inclusion, and climate resilience, addressing both traditional inheritance disputes and emerging challenges caused by climate change, including displacement and loss of legal documentation.

Through this collaboration, Mobilink Bank will fund legal cases and provide comprehensive support, including:

  • Case assessment and documentation
  • Legal representation
  • Post-resolution follow-up

According to Haaris Mahmood Chaudhary, President & CEO of Mobilink Bank:

“True financial inclusion requires more than banking access — it demands enabling women to claim their rightful assets and economic agency.”

Haya Emaan Zahid, CEO of Legal Aid Society, added:

“Access to justice is a cornerstone of economic empowerment, particularly for women who are often excluded from formal systems.”

Technology Meets Legal Empowerment

Mobilink Bank has enhanced its impact through digital innovation by introducing an inheritance calculator within its Dost App, enabling users to estimate inheritance shares through a transparent and Shariah-compliant framework.

Institutional Impact

The Legal Aid Society’s contributions include:

  • 87 million individuals reached through awareness
  • 550,000+ legal queries addressed
  • 3,000+ cases represented

Community Engagement

The initiative also includes legal literacy and awareness programs aimed at improving understanding of inheritance rights and access to justice.

This partnership reflects a broader shift toward integrated development models combining financial services, legal empowerment, and climate resilience to address systemic inequalities.
