West Coast LEAF's mission is to achieve equality by changing historic patterns of systemic discrimination against women through BC-based equality rights litigation, law reform and public legal education.
“I have come to realize what a quiet, dedicated and profoundly sane organization West Coast LEAF is…it is so necessary to have legal reform, because the honour system doesn’t seem to work.”
- Canadian actor Helen Shaver, speaking at West Coast LEAF's 2009 Equality Breakfast
