CLARE'S LAW
People at risk of domestic violence have the right to get information about potentially harmful intimate partners.
The Disclosure to Protect Against Domestic Violence (Clare’s Law) Act gives people who feel at risk of domestic violence a way to get information about their partners so they can make informed choices about their safety and relationships.
Alberta’s version of Clare’s Law is named after Clare Wood, a United Kingdom woman killed by an ex-partner who had a reported history of violence against women that she was unaware of.
People who may be at risk can find out if their current or former partner has a history of:
Person of disclosure – the person whose information is being disclosed to a person at risk.
Disclosure – a summary of available domestic violence and related information provided verbally to a person at risk by a police service.

Just Us Girls
Just-us Girls is a community based initiative aimed at helping young women, trans feminine youth, and young moms, ages 12-24, including their children. We support youth and young moms develop plans to keep themselves and their family safe. If the young person is subject to a Child and Family Services’ Court Application, involved in child protection, and/or the youth has been charged with a Youth Criminal Court Matter we support her in developing a plan to address the court's concerns. A Just-Us Girls mentor will encourage and assist her in carrying out her plan. We are a volunteer-based group of women and trans feminine people who have come together to deliver meaningful support services. Over the years we have developed an effective process that provides encouragement, guidance, and support to young women with or without children, helping them navigate through the overwhelming justice system. |
