Including women in justice delivery is crucial for several reasons. Women bring unique perspectives and experiences that enhance the fairness and comprehensiveness of legal decisions. Their involvement ensures the justice system is more representative and empathetic towards issues affecting women, such as domestic violence, sexual harassment, and discrimination. It is also vital to protect women from discrimination and sexual harassment within the justice system itself.
