Abstract

The paper analyzes the conceptualization of access to justice as a right, the implications of applying a gender approach to its understanding, the international standards about this topic and the role of constitutional justice to ensure them in the national level. To this end, recent Peruvian and Colombian constitutional rulings in cases of violence against women are analyzed in order to determine if constitutional processes, in both countries, are a way for internal control of good quality international standards in the right of access to justice in cases of violence against women.

Keywords:

Access to justice, gender approach, violence against women, international standars, constitutional justice
