YAEL helps fund the cost of legal matters that advance and protect women's rights under Australian law and connects people with free legal information.
No one person should have to carry the cost of standing up for her rights. When many people give a little each month, the fund grows large enough to make a real contribution toward someone's legal costs.
Yael Women’s Defence Guild is an Australian charity that helps fund the cost of legal matters advancing and protecting women’s rights under Australian law and provides free legal information to those who need it.
We don’t fund whole cases or provide lawyers. We make fixed contributions toward the real costs of being heard filing fees, expert reports, an hour of advice so that standing up for your rights doesn’t come down to what you can afford alone.
We take our name from Yael, who protected her people through courage and quiet resolve, and from the sure-footed mountain goat that shares her name steady on hard ground.
For one woman, the cost of being heard can be impossible $300 to $650 for an hour of advice, thousands for a single expert report, filing fees owed before a matter is even heard. Shared between many of us giving a little each month, it's barely felt. That's the whole idea: small gifts, pooled into a fund large enough to help a woman stand up for her rights.
Whether you'd like to support the fund, you're seeking help with a women's-rights matter, or you'd like to lend your skills, we're glad to hear from you. Inquiries about assistance are always treated in confidence.

Law is costly, and no one person should carry it alone. Legal advice runs about $300–$650 an hour; a single expert report can cost $5,000–$10,000; court filing fees mount before a matter is even heard. When many people give a little each month, the fund grows large enough to make a real contribution toward someone's costs.
