Legal Needs Survey Report and Country Briefs

To deliver justice for all by 2030 in a world where billions of people are not yet able to obtain justice, we must resolve justice problems, prevent injustices from occurring, and use justice systems to create opportunities for people to participate fully. At the core of this approach are efforts to put people at the center of justice systems, co-designing fair, inclusive, relevant, and timely solutions for all citizens. The Closing the Justice Gap for Women with Intellectual and/or Psychosocial Disabilities in Asia-Pacific research project gathered evidence that illustrates the justice gap faced by women with intellectual and/or psychosocial disabilities in the Asia-Pacific region.

The project took place from 2022-2023 and was funded by the UN Women Regional Office for Asia—Pacific. The legal needs survey and associated knowledge products were generously supported by the Government of Sweden and the UN Women Centre of Excellence for Gender Equality in Seoul, Republic of Korea.
