Topics: Gender, Protection and Access to Justice
Women who seek justice are confronted by a complex landscape of laws, systems and institutions. This Module brings together the knowledge and tools that practitioners need to build and sustain justice systems that are responsive to the rights and needs of women. It provides the basic foundations for women’s access to justice programming at country level by outlining the key contextual factors to be taken into account (political, legal, economic, social and cultural) and unpacks the operationalization of the three programming entry points by highlighting common challenges and providing potential solutions. In doing so, it serves as the foundation for applying the programming principles and entry points in subsequent Modules, which provide detailed explorations of women’s access to justice by thematic area.
