ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS
Without access to justice, women cannot claim their rights, seek accountability for violence, or participate as equals in society. Justice is the foundation of all other rights.
The Issue
Justice remains out of reach for millions of African women and girls. Legal systems are inaccessible, discriminatory, or non-existent in conflict zones. Women cannot read legal documents, afford court fees, or safely travel to courthouses. Survivors of violence face hostile systems that re-traumatize rather than support them.
Why It Matters
Without access to justice, women cannot claim their rights, seek accountability for violence, or participate as equals in society. Justice is the foundation of all other rights.
