You're not alone
The Barbra Schlifer Commemorative Clinic offers legal, counselling and interpretation services to marginalized and racialized populations of women who have survived violence.
The Clinic is committed to helping diverse women (self identified), non-binary, intersex, and Two Spirit people live free from violence by offering a variety of services. Our diverse, skilled and compassionate staff come from a range of backgrounds, and have helped women from diverse communities navigate many kinds of complex situations.
Gender Inclusion & Equity
The Clinic adheres to a gender identity and inclusion policy. This policy has evolved over the years to reflect and address our understanding of developing inequities.

“On the background of lost life, it is easy to see how the gender-based violence crisis is like a virus that has been eating away at the rights of women for centuries, causing loss of dignity and death.”
Projects
The Clinic takes a multi-faceted approach to eradicating violence against women through its services, public education and advocacy efforts. Special Projects play an integral role in filling identified gaps in service provision experienced by the racialized and marginalized populations to whom we provide our services.
