The Women Lawyers Association of Malawi (WLA) is a non-profit organization that champions the promotion and protection of the human rights of women and children. Through legal services, advocacy, and research, they work towards the realization and enjoyment of these rights. Comprised of women lawyers from both public and private sectors, WLA also allows honorary membership for male lawyers.

WLA's mission is to protect and promote women and children's human rights by providing legal services, advocating for their rights, and conducting research. Their aim is to foster respect for human rights within Malawian society, specifically focusing on the rights of women and children. WLA acts as a watchdog to ensure that legislation is not discriminatory or unconstitutional, making sure it aligns with international human rights standards.

Additionally, they strive to create unity among local women lawyers and build strong partnerships within the justice system. With a focus on two main objectives, WLA seeks to provide effective protection for women and children under the law and promote respect for human rights.
