Enabling women to understand and benefit from their legal rights through accessible and timely publications and training
Campaigning to ensure that women’s voices are heard and law and policy meets all women’s needs

Our free telephone advice lines have provided vital legal advice for women on sexual harassment in the workplace, family law, criminal law and immigration and asylum advice. They provide a safe space for women to talk about their situation and receive expert legal advice to enable them to make important decisions about their future.
