Legal Aid Ontario
Legal Aid Ontario can provide support in many areas including family law, criminal law, refugee law, and some immigration law matters. Some of these areas are not covered at SALCO.
About Us
SALCO’s mandate is to improve access to justice for low-income South Asian communities. SALCO provides direct legal services in Ontario, public legal education across Ontario and Canada, and is involved in many community development and law reform initiatives to advance the rights of low-income South Asian communities. SALCO provides services in multiple South Asian languages and in multiple areas of law.
Our advocacy includes dismantling the impact of intersecting forms of discrimination on all life outcomes for racialized communities including systemic racism and Islammophobia. SALCO also supports many people facing gender-based violence (GBV) in direct legal services and in large-scale systems change to better serve South Asian people facing GBV.
We provide advice, brief services, and/or legal representation in a number of areas of law. For more information, please contact us by phone or by email.
