Legal information |

Rights of Women have produced a number of information sheets on legal issues affecting women. You can download them here, free of charge. The information contained on this page is not legal advice. If you have a legal problem, you should talk to a lawyer or advisor before deciding what to do. The information given here is written for people resident in or affected by the laws of England and Wales. Have you used our legal advice and information services or signposted other women to them? Please help us fundraise to maintain and develop them by completing our short surveys: |
These information sheets are in PDF format. If you are visually impaired, and require any of them in Word format, please let us know by emailing info@row.org.uk and we will send them to you.On this page:
Legal Aid: Rights of Women, Women's Aid and Welsh Women's Aid are very concerned that these changes will mean that many women affected by violence will not be able to access legal advice and representation to resolve family law matters. In order to monitor the impact of the changes we have developed a survey for women to complete. Please complete the survey here. We will be feeding back this information to the Ministry of Justice. Legal handbooks: Since publication of our handbook, Seeking Refuge? A handbook for asylum seeking women (2nd edition), there have been important changes to the law. Please also read the following: Living together:Marriage and divorce: Children and relationship breakdown: Domestic and sexual violence: Trafficking: Since publication of our legal guide, Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation and the Law, there have been important changes to the law. Please also read the following: Immigration and asylum law: Since publication of our legal guide, Domestic violence, immigration law and "no recourse to public funds", there have been important changes to the law.
