Our priorities
Vulnerable Persons
Certain people face greater obstacles to accessing justice. The Foundation pays particular attention to them.
Why pay particular attention?
Access to justice is not equal for everyone. Some people face cumulative obstacles: lack of information, language barriers, economic vulnerability, fear of reprisals, discrimination, or geographic isolation.
The Foundation does not replace specialized services. But it can help these people understand their rights, know that resources exist, and identify the right institutions to contact.
Groups we pay particular attention to
Women experiencing violence
Domestic violence, sexual violence, harassment. Women need to know the available mechanisms: protection orders, shelters, legal aid.
Children and youth
Children have specific rights. Young people in conflict with the law, in care situations, or facing exploitation need adapted information.
Migrants and refugees
People in migration situations face specific legal challenges: immigration status, labour rights, access to services.
Persons with disabilities
People with disabilities have specific rights regarding accessibility, non-discrimination, and participation in public life.
Detained persons
People in detention have rights that must be respected: right to a lawyer, right to dignity, right to information.
Elderly persons
Elderly people can be victims of financial exploitation, abuse, or neglect. They need to know their rights and available resources.
Workers in precarious situations
Precarious workers, domestic workers, and seasonal workers often do not know their labour rights.
Persons in poverty
Economic vulnerability limits access to justice. People in poverty need accessible information and free resources.
Awareness topics
"A right that cannot be exercised is not truly a right. Our role is to help people know that their rights exist and that resources are available to them."
