Standing with survivors. Lighting the path to justice.
Laura’s Light bridges the justice gap for survivors of sexual assault and domestic violence by connecting them with qualified legal representation, ensuring financial circumstances never prevent access to necessary legal services.
When survivors have legal representation, they’re more likely to achieve safety, long-term stability, and justice.
