Intergenerational approaches to access to justice across the life-course: Barriers and policy pathways for adolescent girls and older women

This discussion brief draws on the proceedings and outcomes of the side event, “Intergenerational approaches to access to justice across the life-course”, held as part of the Youth Forum at the 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70).

The brief outlines the global context framing the justice gap across the life-course; barriers preventing adolescent girls and older women from accessing justice, including shared and age-specific dimensions; and policy and programme recommendations to build more inclusive, responsive, and accountable justice systems.
