| الوصف: | Access to justice is a fundamental principal of the rule of law. With this in mind, this research aims to analyze the mechanisms and barriers that women from rural areas in the province of Chimborazo, Ecuador, face when seeking justice. This investigation adopted a qualitative method approach, and was comprised of exploratory fieldwork as well as descriptive documentary analysis. The findings indicate that in this province, rural women's access to justice is facilitated through various government institutions and university legal clinics. These entities collaborate to spread awareness and offer direct legal assistance. However, despite these efforts, challenges persist, including the lack of specific data on the affected women's localities and the need for broader dissemination of available legal pathways. The study concludes that addressing these shortcomings is essential to further bolster the province's legal infrastructure and better address the intricate needs of its female population, particularly those from rural backgrounds. |
