Abstract

The Gender-Sensitive Legal Aid Services Accessibility Project aims to enhance legal aid accessibility for women survivors of domestic violence in Nairobi, Kenya. A comparative study methodology was employed, involving surveys and focus group discussions to gather data on service utilization and participant perceptions. Initial findings indicate a 30% adoption rate for the legal aid services, with participants expressing strong support for gender-sensitive approaches in improving their access to justice. Participants generally endorsed the gender-sensitive approach as effective but highlighted the need for more comprehensive training and resource allocation by service providers. Recommendations include expanding training programmes for service providers and ensuring equitable distribution of resources across different community areas.
