Victim Empowerers – The Women’s Legal Centre


The Women’s Legal Centre (“the WLC”) is an independently funded non-profit law centre based in Cape Town, South Africa.

The WLC was established in 1999 by a small group of women lawyers shortly after the coming into operation of the Constitution with a view to developing the right to equality on the ground of gender and sex as envisaged in the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.

The WLC’s core function is to advance women’s human rights, specifically socio-economically disadvantaged women, through strategic/impact litigation and legal advocacy in the areas of gender based violence, labour law, land law, relationship rights and reproductive and health rights.

The WLC also provides a free daily legal advice service to women.Should you require legal advice, please visit the WLC office at,
