RedRoot SVG Encourages Vincentians to Access Free Legal Aid Services for Vulnerable Individuals
RedRoot SVG Inc. is calling on members of the public especially women, youth, and vulnerable persons experiencing domestic violence, discrimination, or legal challenges to take advantage of the organization’s Legal Aid Clinic, which provides free and confidential legal support.
The Legal Aid Clinic, operated by RedRoot SVG, offers critical assistance to individuals who cannot afford private legal representation. Services include legal advice, document preparation, case referrals, and advocacy support for victims of gender-based violence, workplace harassment, family disputes, and other social justice concerns.
“Too many people are suffering in silence because they feel they have nowhere to turn,” said Phylicia Alexander-Lavia, Executive Director of RedRoot SVG Inc.
“Our Legal Aid Clinic exists to ensure that everyone regardless of their financial situation—has access to justice and the support they need to rebuild their lives.”
RedRoot SVG’s Legal Aid Clinic also works closely with counsellors, social workers, and partner organizations to provide a holistic response, combining legal support with counselling, skills training, and empowerment programs.
The organization emphasizes that these services are free, confidential, and open to all, especially for women and families in crisis who may be facing abuse or seeking legal guidance.
Members of the public are encouraged to contact RedRoot SVG to book an appointment or walk in for consultation hours at RedRoot in Pauls Avenue.
