“My friend told me about the Muslim Legal Support Centre after hearing about it from her neighbour. I was desperately in need of legal help and struggled to find help in the past. The staff at MLSC supported me during a really hard time. The staff lawyer was incredibly patient with my concerns and questions, always responding quickly. I felt thoroughly supported at every step by MLSC. I am so grateful for them.”

“When it comes to discussing legal stuff, it can be hard to feel comfortable with just anyone. But the Muslim Legal Support Centre is different. Everyone I interacted with was a woman which made me feel safe, supported, and like I could share my personal issues without being judged. It’s such a relief knowing there’s a place like this I can go to.”
