Access to Justice and Law Reform Institute of Nova Scotia Ltd

Published purpose

This 30-month project will support a feminist response and recovery from the current impacts of COVID-19, through systemic change. Access to Justice and Law Reform Institute of Nova Scotia Ltd. will achieve this by developing training and resources, conducting research, networking and collaborating with stakeholders and drafting and compiling a final evaluation. At the end of the project, the organization will have contributed to addressing systemic barriers by advancing inclusive policies and practices and increasing networks and collaboration to accelerate systemic change to support women’s equality. Access to Justice and Law Reform Institute of Nova Scotia Ltd. will draw upon the expertise of feminist and community organizations that work to end gender-based violence to develop tools and resources on how to navigate the family justice system, as well as how this system intersects with other justice and social service systems. This initiative aims at providing fair access to justice and equity for female-identified and non-binary people with children escaping gender-based violence.
