Law Reform
The Women's Law Centre is committed to advocating for social change through law and legal policy reform in the interests of women. WLC has a particular focus on achieving reform in the areas of women's equality and access to justice.
We lobby for reform of the law itself as well as reform to the administration of the law. We also undertake law reform work to resist changes to the law or legal policy that may negatively impact on women, particularly those women most disadvantaged in their access to justice.
