Developed in collaboration with REBÂTIR, the special file « Violence conjugale et violence sexuelle » is now available online directly on our website!

This file contains legislative, jurisprudential and doctrinal sources in various fields of law affected by sexual and spousal violence.

You will find information on family law, youth law, criminal law, civil law, housing law, compensation for victims of sexual or spousal violence, labour law, immigration law, police ethics, as well as an introduction to the concept of “coercive control” which is gradually being implemented in several jurisdictions.

REBÂTIR is a free legal consultation service for victims of sexual and domestic violence. Administered by the Centre communautaire juridique de la Rive-Sud, this project was deployed on September 27, 2021 following the “Rebâtir la confiance” expert report on supporting victims of sexual and domestic violence. The service offering 4 hours of legal consultations – per event – is completely confidential and is staffed by 12 legal aid lawyers Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the option to leave a message outside of business hours.
