Context
At the Just Solution Legal Clinic (MCM), we are observing a concerning number of cases of intimate partner violence, particularly involving migrant women whose immigration status depends on their partner or spouse.
These situations, while known, remain poorly documented from a legal perspective. 2SLGBTQIA+ migrant individuals with precarious status or without status also face numerous structural barriers, including a lack of services adapted to their specific realities and needs, including in their interactions with the justice system. This population is often in a “blind spot” of research and community action. This report highlights the main barriers to access to justice for these populations and offers concrete recommendations to promote their safety, well-being, and the respect of their rights.

Launch of our awareness campaign
Enraciner :

Trapped in Migratory Vines
On March 11 2026, we launched the Enraciner campaign in Sherbrooke, an awareness and advocacy campaign on access to justice for migrants who experience intimate partner violence in contexts of a spousal sponsorship.
It was an evening rich in exchanges, marked by meaningful conversations on access to justice for migrant women and 2SLGBTQIA+ migrants in Quebec. Our panelists shared their experiences working with these communities, particularly with women whose immigration status depends on a violent partner.
A big thank you to our panelists Dania Suleman, Anne-Josée Péloquin and Anthony Rouget,as well as our partners at the Carrefour de solidarité internationale.
