Access to Justice and Electoral Integrity “Global Study on Legal Aid”, United Nations Development Program (UNDP) The purpose of the document is to promote the provision of legal aid assistance in a concrete manner, so that the rule of law will impact on access to justice and contribute to have a more equitable development by empowering the poor and marginalized groups through a better access to justice. Under the idea that a key step is to translate international normative frameworks into domestic legislation and practice, the study gathers information on the state of legal aid in order to identify priorities for assistance and capacity building in various countries. The study concentrates primary and secondary sources of legal aid and can be useful for mapping good practices around the world. http://www.undp.org/content/undp/en/home/ourwork/democraticgovernance/focus_areas/focus_justice_law/how_we_work.html#1 Gender Equality and Justice Programming: Equitable Access to Justice for Women, UNDP, 2007 The document outlines the main obstacles and barriers that women face in accessing justice, and suggests strategies and interventions to overcome these difficulties.
