About Us

SHAPE is a coalition of 20 Ontario community legal clinics providing free public legal education and legal advice to prevent and address workplace sexual harassment. We are staffed by lawyers and paralegals.

We provide public legal education to all stakeholders, including workers and employers.

We will provide legal advice to any worker in Ontario regardless of income or location.

We are trying to reach workers who may not know their rights, including:

Precarious workers
Young workers
Newcomers and racialized workers
Women working in male-dominated workplaces
Vulnerable workers
Indigenous workers
Those who identify as 2SLGBTQ+
Persons with disabilities
Low-income workers
