Organizational Profile

West Coast LEAF’s office is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded Coast Salish homelands including the territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, colonially identified as the City of Vancouver. We recognize that many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people from across Turtle Island reside on these lands and on lands across BC.

For over 40 years, West Coast LEAF (WCL) has worked to bring its vision of an equal and just society closer to reality through litigation, law reform, and public legal education in collaboration with communities most impacted. West Coast LEAF’s focus on systemic advocacy for gender justice is rooted in relationship-building and sustained community engagement. West Coast LEAF centers the people most impacted and marginalized by systems of injustice and oppression, including those harmed by colonization, patriarchy, racism, and ableism. Focused primarily on legal issues that affect people in BC, the organization also takes action on matters of national significance.
