Abstract: This document was developed in preparation for the seventieth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), whose priority theme is “ensuring and strengthening access to justice for women and girls by promoting inclusive and equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, and addressing structural barriers that limit the effective exercise of their rights.” The process took place within the framework of the sixty-seventh Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean. The objective of this document and its recommendations is not only to advance toward the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women in the region, but also to contribute substantively from Latin America and the Caribbean in the area of access to justice, placing substantive equality, autonomy, and the right of women and girls to live free from violence at the center.
