Legal Education & Resources

Many of our clients need support in addressing legal issues such as restraining orders, child custody and access, and eligibility for income assistance or social housing.

The YWCA provides legal assistance on an individual basis and also educates employees, volunteers and clients through ongoing workshops on a variety of relevant topics.

The YWCA seeks to address inequality for women in the area of family law by providing research and information to the public through pamphlets and its Women Without Status project.

The YWCA Vancouver is grateful for the funding that the Law Foundation of BC provides for the Mothers Without Legal Status researcher and the Custody and Access brochure.
