We work on law reform issues, to ensure that laws and policies promote women's equality and are in compliance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. We are pushing for greater funding and increased access to legal aid, specifically in the family law area. We are also advocating for a poverty reduction policy in government, including through increased social assistance payments and decreased restrictions on access to both social assistance and disability assistance. We are also working on better responses to violence against women and better housing conditions for women. We respond to legislative and policy changes as they occur, and sometimes advocate for changes to those laws and bills to ensure women's equality and greater compliance with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Kasari works particularly on legal aid and access to justice issues in the law reform context.
