Who We Are

We help create change in women's lives.

We work with women and girls in conflict with, or at risk of becoming in conflict with, the law.

We empower and encourage women to face the challenges in their lives in a more positive way, by offering alternatives, resources, guidance or whatever supports their particular journey requires.

We work with other organizations and with government to bring about system changes, and ultimately a more humane criminal justice system, through advocacy and education.

We have designed our programs to help break the cycle of poverty, addiction, mental illness, homelessness, and crime.

Our Vision

The Elizabeth Fry Society of Calgary devotes itself to promoting fairness, equality and personal dignity to women in the community who may be experiencing social and economic disadvantages.
