LegalAid Ontario – Study on Francophone Women’s Needs

In February 2014, Legal Aid Ontario released a study entitled Portrait of the Legal Needs of Francophone Women in Ontario.

The study consists of an extensive review and analysis of relevant documentation and literature, an environmental scan of French-language services in Ontario’s justice sector, and comprehensive consultations with the Francophone community.

The primary objective of this study was to recommend feasible short- and medium-term solutions to improve access to justice for Francophone women in areas of law that are within LAO’s mandate.
