The WG Civil Justice and Dispute Resolution of RC12(Sociology of Law) will organize a session on Gender issues and Access to Justice.

The issue of access to justice appears sharply against the vulnerable.

A perspective that considers gender issues renews our understanding of justice.

This session will address various angles on the relationship between gender issues and access to justice issues.
