Factsheet - Access to Justice for Women in East and Southeast Asia

About Progress

Progress of the World’s Women offers a comprehensive global review of women’s rights around the world. It uses the issue of women’s access to justice to highlight the many ways in which injustice against women is still rife, right across the globe – in the home, in the workplace, in politics and in justice systems.

The report contains case studies, statistics and graphics illustrating both positive examples of progress in women’s access to justice, and areas where more action is urgently needed.
