International Women's Day calls for reforming justice systems to ensure equality for women and girls

International Women's Day highlights the need to balance justice scales for women and girls, addressing a system historically designed by and for men. Experts urge challenging everyday misogyny and discrimination to foster gender equality, as legal systems often silence victims and protect patriarchal interests. The theme "balance the scales" emphasizes fair access to justice, with advocates calling for legal reforms and cultural shifts to combat gender-based violence and protect vulnerable individuals.
