Together, we’re moving toward gender justice

West Coast LEAF works to deepen justice and substantive equality for women, people who experience gender discrimination, and Indigenous peoples and communities. Through our community-engaged legal practice, we collaborate with those most impacted and marginalized by systems of oppression, and stop at nothing less than transformative social change.

Take action for justice and equity!
