To disregard women and bar them from active participation in political, social, economic and cultural life would in fact be tantamount to depriving the entire population of every society of half its capability. 

Shirin Ebadi,
Nobel Laureate for Peace, 2003
2008 West Coast LEAF Equality Breakfast Speaker

West Coast LEAF works to realize this vision of women's full equality through public legal education, strategic litigation, and law reform.

This year, as you think about honouring your mother on Mother’s Day, we encourage you to consider making a gift of equality to make the world a better place for mothers and their daughters, sisters and nieces.
