The Vrouwenrechtswinkel Leiden (VRWL) is there for everyone who needs it. Our primary target group is women in a financially vulnerable position, but of course everyone who benefits from it can ask VRWL for help. The frequently asked questions have been adapted accordingly.
On this website and in our communication, however, we refer to the term ‘women’ because that is the legal category that we often deal with, especially when it comes to unequal treatment. In doing so, we conform to the legal form, but we are very much aware that there are people who identify as neither male nor female and we hope that they too feel supported by VRWL.
VRWL is a tool for women who want to get their rights. We answer legal questions and provide free, customized advice. VRWL offers legal assistance with topics related to work, finance, education and care. If we cannot do enough for the person requesting the advice, we are ready to think along with them about possible (legal) follow-up steps: we have a network of lawyers and legal experts.
You will get a VRWL employee on the phone. This person will make sure that you get an answer to your question or will connect you to a person who can help you further.
No, VRWL does not have an income requirement. This means that you can receive free advice without having to prove that you are below a certain income.
You are welcome if you live, work or study in Leiden or the region around Leiden.
VRWL is a platform in development. We are continuously adding to our frequently asked questions. In order to still get an answer to your question, you can contact our advisors via info@vrwleiden.nl. From April onwards we will also be reachable by phone on 071-5143980.
