The Aboriginal & Torres Strait
Islander Women's Program

The Women’s Legal Service (SA) established the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Women’s Program during the 90s to provide legal assistance to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women across South Australia.
The program recognises that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women face multiple barriers in accessing services let alone the legal system. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander program aims to work towards the removal of these and other barriers by working alongside Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander women to support them in engaging in a meaningful and empowering with the legal system.
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Women’s Project also provides community legal education to women and the community, in relation to legal matters affecting them.
