ADVOCACY
At Rise, we amplify our client’s voices and experiences to places and people of power to effect change. We recognize how the current family law system especially adversely affects clients from marginalized groups and Indigenous communities. We highlight gaps in the current family law system in BC, and break down prevalent myths and stereotypes on family violence. We advocate for a safe, more just, and equal legal system for all.
