WLS respectfully acknowledges the traditional peoples and homelands of the Jagera and Turrbul. Our service strives to respect and embrace the Elders, holders and keepers of the traditional authorities. We commit to assisting and supporting all First Nations women.
Women’s Legal Service is committed to the creation of a society in which every woman:
- Is safe from violence
- Is able to tell her story, have it heard and respected and
- Receives a fair and just outcome from legal and social welfare systems.
Women’s Legal Service is a feminist organisation developed and operated by women for women since 1984. WLS encourages, wherever possible a women’s only space.
