scottish women's rights centre
Glasgow
We are a unique collaborative project providing free legal information, advice,
representation and advocacy support to self-identifying women in Scotland
affected by violence and abuse (read our inclusion statement here). Our services
include legal and advocacy helplines, legal advice surgeries, advocacy support
and legal representation. You can find a list of our services here. Our mission
Our Centre strives to fill the gaps that exist between women’s experiences of
gender-based violence and their ability to access justice by working with
specialist solicitors and experienced advocacy workers. Informed by our direct
work with victims/survivors of violence and abuse, we seek to influence national
policy, research and training to improve processes and systems, and ultimately
to improve justice outcomes for women who have experienced gender-based
violence. On this page you can read more about what we mean by gender-based
violence. Who is involved? The Scottish Women’s Rights Centre is a collaboration
between Rape Crisis Scotland, JustRight Scotland and the University of
Strathclyde Law Clinic. Our core services are funded by the Justice Department
of the Scottish Government, administered by the Scottish Legal Aid Board.
