Between Protection and Precarity

Analysis Report on Access to Justice for Migrant Women and 2SLGBTQIA+ Migrants with Precarious Status or no Status

Read the full reportSummary of the report
MKP04651.jpg

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.

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.
