Access to Justice

Ensuring access to justice for women implies building awareness among women of their rights and teaching them how to exercise their rights and to demand that they be respected. It also means recognizing that the government is under obligation to guarantee their rights.

At Las Libres, we accompany women along this path, helping them to take a stand and voice their opinion, to take civil or criminal action, to speak with the authorities, with their partner, with their community, or to develop social and cultural mechanisms to bring forth a change in attitude within their family, community or across the entire nation.

Providing access to justice for women means that we will tackle every obstacle, big or small, to ensure that women exercise their rights in their everyday lives and within the greater social context: in politics, the economy and in the very fabric of society.
