For survivors of family violence, leaving is just the beginning. Navigating the family law storm can be overwhelming, expensive, long, dangerous, and can feel impossible.
Rise Women’s Legal Centre provides vital family law services that help ensure women and gender diverse people don’t have to face the family law storm alone. A donation to Rise this winter means that women and gender diverse people across BC will have access to the support they need while they navigate the family law system.
“When faced with the challenges of family law, it’s like looking at Mount Everest... It’s so much easier for a client to think “He might not kill me tonight, so I’ll just stay.”
Support worker interviewed for Rise’s 2024 report, Building Inclusive and Accessible Family Justice
The need for Rise Women’s Legal Centre’s services is growing drastically. So far in 2026, we have seen a 46% increase in demand for our services, and we need more support to meet this demand.
A gift to Weathering the Storm means that you can help Rise meet this demand
“This service is essential and critical for me - and all those who find themselves needing legal supports - while facing abuse and seeking to protect the rights of themselves and their children.”
