      <image:caption>Our AGM is an opportunity to connect with and thank everyone who has been with us on this journey. Thank you for your support and encouragement over the last year – a year that has highlighted the ways in which women and all those marginalized by gender oppression are particularly impacted by family violence, economic insecurity, the climate crisis, and intersecting oppressions. As we reflect on this year and the ones before, we are deeply grateful for the ongoing and steadfast support of our community which includes a wide variety of community partners, volunteers, donors, staff, students, board members and other friends. Your contributions and belief have kept us afloat during this period of transition and uncertainty.</image:caption>

      <image:title>News - Increase in access to legal aid services - For our clients who wish to know how this may effect them, or their legal case, we have written a letter, explaining that we will continue to keep them updated as new details are released.</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a great first step in undoing the harms of cuts to legal aid, beginning in 2002, which have had a disproportionate impact on women. Beginning in 2002, legal aid’s budget was cut by almost 40% over 3 years, with cuts primarily targeting family and poverty law, with family law receiving a 60% cut in funding. This 25% increase for family law is an important step forward to address the devastating lack of coverage under the current legal aid system. We look forward to receiving more details about the changes to legal aid eligibility and coverage, and the new legal clinics, in the coming months as this rolls out.</image:caption>
