Practical Guide and Methods to Advance Women's Legal Rights

USAID Women's Legal Rights Initiative

The USAID Women's Legal Rights Initiative (WLR) is excited to announce the availability of the program final report, Practical Guide and Methods to Advance Women's Legal Rights.

The report describes WLR's methods, tools, and successes in four key result areas:

1. Improving legislation to protect women's legal rights,

2. Enhancing justice sector capacity to interpret and enforce women's legal rights,

3. Strengthening civil society's capacity to advocate for legal protections for women, and

4. Increasing public awareness of women's legal rights.

The report includes references to USAID's Development Experience Clearinghouse (DEC) where the reader can access WLR documents that were produced in the course of program implementation. These documents have been published on the DEC for use by others who wish to duplicate or adapt WLR's approach to the advancement of women's legal rights.

The report may be downloaded from the USAID Office of Women in Development website [4].
