Our Mission
The South Asian Canadian Access to Justice Association is dedicated to ensuring that South Asian communities in Canada have equal access to justice. Our mission is to break down the systemic barriers that prevent our communities from accessing legal services and receiving fair treatment in the Canadian justice system. We work to empower our communities by providing education, advocacy, and support to individuals and organizations that seek to address issues of injustice.
