You're not alone

The Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic offers legal, counselling and interpretation services to marginalized and racialized populations of women who have survived violence.

The Clinic is committed to helping diverse women and gender diverse people live free from violence by offering a variety of services. Our diverse, skilled and compassionate staff come from a range of backgrounds, and have helped women and gender diverse people from diverse communities navigate many kinds of complex situations.

On the background of lost life, it is easy to see how the gender-based violence crisis is like a virus that has been eating away at the rights of women and gender diverse people for centuries, causing loss of dignity and death.”

Projects

The Clinic takes a multi-faceted approach to eradicating violence against women and gender diverse people through its services, public education and advocacy efforts. Special Projects play an integral role in filling identified gaps in service provision experienced by the racialized and marginalized populations to whom we provide our services.

Legal Reform

The Clinic is a resource on legal issues relevant to victims of violence. We raise our voice on a number of important legal issues so that all women and gender diverse people can build lives free from violence, and provide expertise to other community agencies working with women and gender diverse people experiencing violence.
