About the Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF)   

The Women’s Legal Education and Action Fund (LEAF) is a national not-for-profit that works to advance gender equality in Canada through litigation, law reform, and public legal education.   

Since 1985, LEAF has intervened in more than 100 cases that have helped shape the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, responded to violence against women and gender diverse people, pushed back against discrimination in the workplace, allowed access to reproductive freedoms, and provided improved maternity benefits, spousal support, and the right to pay equity.  

LEAF understands that women and gender diverse individuals in Canada experience discrimination in different ways, and builds partnerships across communities to inform our understanding of how race, gender identity, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, class, and other intersectional identities underlie legal structures that perpetuate inequality, discrimination, and harm. 


Le 17 novembre 2021 – Aujourd’hui, le FAEJ a publié le guide « Inacceptable : Réagir à la violence fondée sur le genre facilitée par la technologie ». Ce guide définit et décrit différentes formes de violence fondée sur le genre facilitée par la technologie (VFGFT) et décrit les mesures que les personnes touchées par la VFGFT peuvent prendre pour lutter contre la violence, y compris des recours juridiques possibles.  

La publication a été préparée par Rosel Kim, avocate employée au FAEJ et responsable du Projet de lutte contre la violence facilitée par la technologie du FAEJ. Le FAEJ tient à remercier Moira Aikenhead, Suzie Dunn, Raine Liliefeldt et Nasreen Rajani pour leur orientation et leurs commentaires. La création de ce guide a reçu le soutien de la Semaine des victimes et survivants d’actes criminels 2021 du ministère de la Justice du Canada.
