Representatives of the Eastern Partnership judicial training institutions, alongside members of civil society, and European Union and Council of Europe representatives, met on 4 July 2025, to take stock of the progress achieved in advancing access to justice for women.
The 3rd Technical Steering Committee Meeting of the regional project “Women's Access to Justice: implementing Council of Europe gender equality and violence against women standards” took place in Strasbourg and online.
Participants reflected on the implementation of the mentoring programme for legal professionals on access to justice for women, support to civil society, as well as efforts to put in place gender mainstreaming strategies for law schools.
Looking ahead, participants welcomed the forthcoming work on improving data collection efforts relevant for access to justice for women, as well as the planned conference of the Eastern Partnership judicial training institutions on how legal professional training can support the implementation of the Istanbul Convention.
The regional project “Women's Access to Justice: implementing Council of Europe gender equality and violence against women standards” is part of the European Union and the Council of Europe joint programme “Partnership for Good Governance”, co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe, and implemented by the Council of Europe.
