Women also face unique obstacles when it comes to access to justice, even though men and women generally demonstrate the same levels of awareness of rights. Justice sector services, such as those provided by courts, are a way for women to challenge unfair and discriminatory practices. Yet women are less likely to use the courts due to their lack of financial resources and perceptions of social shame. They are also more likely to be affected by personal status disputes such as divorce, alimony, and child support, where legal aid services are less developed, affecting poorer women in particular.
