After abuse, swift access to free, expert legal advice is vital to enable women to understand their options. Yet too many women are finding that legal support is increasingly difficult to access. As legal aid shrinks, local services close and financial pressures intensify, more women are turning to us at moments of crisis. Without specialist support, women can struggle to understand their rights, risking life-changing outcomes, such as losing custody of their children or homelessness.
We begin by listening and taking women's experiences seriously. Our specialist lawyers provide the legal advice and information women need to understand their rights, consider their options, and make informed decisions about what is right for them and their children. For some, that may involve legal proceedings; for others, it may mean finding a way forward without going to court. Whatever path they choose, no woman should have to navigate it alone.
