Acesso à Justiça

Acesso à Justiça, or access to justice, refers to the ability of individuals to seek and obtain fair legal remedies through the judicial system. It involves removing barriers—such as financial costs, complex procedures, or lack of legal knowledge—that prevent people from resolving disputes or protecting their rights. Ensuring access to justice promotes fairness, accountability, and the rule of law, enabling individuals to defend their interests and participate fully in society. It is a fundamental principle for a just and equitable legal system.
