Low-income women in BC rely on family law advocates to navigate the family law system. Cuts to legal aid, beginning in 2002, were devastating for access to justice in BC. In 2018, the Law Foundation of BC began funding Family Law Advocacy programs to fill this gap. Today, there are more than 30
LFBC family law advocates across the province providing important and necessary support and resources for those navigating family law.

Did you know that Rise provides training and support to these advocates? In this newsletter we will explore Rise’s advocate programs, and how they are essential for increasing support for low-income women. Click here to read full newletter.
