Justice must extend to all womenInternational Women's Day, which occurs tomorrow, often brings statements of support. This year's UN theme asks a harder question -- does justice actually work for women and girls? Migrant women workers, women human rights defenders, and those living at the margins of formal systems face higher risks of exclusion and abuse. Justice must therefore be accessible, trusted, and responsive if women and girls are to exercise their rights with confidence. The theme, "Ensuring Access to Justice for Women and Girls", is not symbolic.
