My understanding is that with respect to family law, 70% of the applicants for family law are women. They are still highly dependent on legal aid. As I mentioned, civil legal aid being decreased over the years has had a significant impact. In fact, you'll find, at least in Ontario and I can't speak to other provinces, that there's not much legal aid available in Ontario for family law except for child protection.
There are some duty counsels, of course, but they don't do trials. Their role for people is very limited.
