Women’s access to justice is a fundamental human right and a central concern of international and regional human rights frameworks. Legal systems are a fundamental pillar of every society and play a crucial role in protecting rights and upholding justice at international, regional, and national levels. Yet in many parts of the world, instead of safeguarding those who advocate for equality and justice, legal systems are increasingly misused as instruments to silence, intimidate, or punish women who challenge discrimination, violence, or unequal laws.
