Ê Building an evidence base to inform policy and programme development. Ê Ensuring gender reform efforts are adequately planned, co-ordinated, budgeted and supported. Ê Implementing gender-responsive legal reforms. Ê Reforming and/or developing policy and procedures. Ê Establishing and strengthening gender-focused organizational structures. Ê Addressing GBV. Ê Training and capacity development. Ê Developing a more representative and responsive justice sector. Ê Facilitating full and equal access to justice. Ê Engaging with informal justice providers. Ê Strengthening gender-responsive internal and external oversight of the justice sector. Ê Challenging societal gender norms and stereotypes and legally empowering the marginalized. Throughout the Tool there are references to case studies in Section 5 that illustrate where efforts to integrate a gender perspective and promote gender equality in and through the justice system have achieved sustained results or represent important progress. Section 6 suggests elements of a self-assessment checklist for justice institutions. Section 7 lists other useful resources. The other Tools and Policy Briefs in this Toolkit focus on other security and justice issues and providers and themes (see page i). It is intended that the Toolkit be used as a whole, with readers moving between Tools and Policy Briefs to find more detail on aspects that interest them. 3
