Abstract
The presentation addresses women’s access to justice and to what extent law promotes empowerment.
It provides the beginnings of a legal framework from which to position further advocacy. Access to justice is not simply an internal matter: security discourses and anti-terrorism laws are based on human rights; globalization and “free markets” include worker rights and the right to work in an occupation of one’s choice. This brief presentation ends with the question: How do we take intersectionality into account in developing and assessing access to justice strategies?
