520 _aThis handbook draws from four decades of experience in supporting survivors of gender-based violence, particularly domestic violence. While legal reforms have criminalized domestic abuse and provided protective measures, many women still face challenges in accessing justice due to a lack of information and legal literacy. Despite legal advancements, many women still struggle to navigate the justice system. This handbook bridges that gap by simplifying legal processes, explaining complaint procedures, and outlining key legal provisions. It offers step-by-step guidance on documentation, civil and criminal matrimonial laws, and essential safety measures. Designed as a practical tool, the handbook aims to transform legal awareness into action, empowering women with the knowledge needed to access justice effectively.
