Campaigns we support
Women’s Legal Service Victoria supports campaigns that align with our commitment to safety, dignity, equality and access to justice.
These campaigns seek to improve laws, systems and responses that affect women, children and communities experiencing harm, discrimination or injustice.
Poccum’s Law
We support the family of Veronica Marie Nelson, a strong Gunditjmara, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wiradjuri and Yorta Yorta woman, who passed away in custody, in calling on the Victorian Government to urgently change bail laws.
Police Ombudsman Now
Making a complaint against police should be safe, accessible and fair.
Trans justice statement of solidarity
Trans people deserve the freedom to be themselves, to feel safe in our communities, and to be able to build a good life, free from hatred, violence and discrimination.
Power to Prevent Coalition
The Power to Prevent Coalition is a group of more than 60 diverse community organisations, unions, academics, peak bodies, health professionals, lawyers and victim-survivors. We see the effects of discrimination and sexual harassment on people every day. Our recommendations to improve the law are based on this direct experience.
Women Together
We proudly stand with all women, including trans and gender diverse women, to demand dignity, safety and equal rights for all women.
#RaiseTheAge
No child belongs in prison. As a first step, all Australian governments must raise the minimum age at which a child can enter the criminal legal system from 10 to at least 14 years of age.
Fix child support
The campaign is working to stop the child support system being a tool of abuse for perpetrators of family violence. The non-payment, under-payment and delayed payment of child support leaves women and children in unsafe and vulnerable positions.
