This report explores the challenges faced by women seeking justice, highlighting the importance of access to justice as a fundamental human right. Women often face gendered differences in their experiences, often due to poverty and power imbalances. Ensuring women’s access to justice is crucial for safeguarding their rights, addressing abuses of power, and resolving conflicts. The report identifies legal, institutional, and economic barriers, as well as cultural and social norms that hinder women’s access to justice. It focuses on civil matters, particularly violence against women and rape cases. The report uses sources from the Council of Europe, primarily from European human rights law, to provide context and enhance understanding.
