The vision of the NLACW is A Zambian Society where underprivileged women and children have fair and equal access to legal rights through legal representation. The mission is to empower underprivileged women and children, to know, realize and protect their human rights through the provision of appropriate and timely legal services, legal education and advocacy for policy and legal reforms. The NLACW has offices in three provinces; Lusaka (Lusaka); Ndola (Copperbelt); and Livingstone (Southern) but has a national reach.  Lusaka covers Lusaka, Eastern, Muchinga and Central provinces while Livingstone office covers Southern and Western provinces; and Ndola covers Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern and North-Western provinces.
