We were pleased to deliver a Domestic Violence Awareness and Legal Information Presentation for members of Calgary’s Afghan community, presented by Giva Balasingam of Shim Law.
Givalatha T. Balasingam spoke with participants about domestic violence, the different forms it can take, available legal protections in Canada, and community resources that may be available to individuals and families seeking support.
The session also provided an opportunity for participants to ask questions, discuss concerns, and learn more about their rights and options in a respectful and accessible setting.
At Shim Law, we value legal education and culturally responsive community outreach as important tools in helping newcomers and community members better understand the Canadian legal system and the resources available to them.
Thank you to everyone who attended and participated in the discussion.
