Making Justice Accessible
Equal access to justice is a fundamental principle that ensures fairness, equality, and the protection of rights within a society. However, numerous barriers often hinder individuals from fully exercising their legal rights and obtaining justice. Access to justice explores the importance of making justice accessible to all, identifies common barriers, and presents key strategies and initiatives aimed at removing these obstacles, thereby promoting equal access to legal remedies and fostering a more just society
Making justice accessible means removing barriers that prevent individuals from effectively engaging with the legal system and asserting their rights. It involves ensuring that legal processes, resources, and services are available, affordable, understandable, and free from discrimination.
