Abstract

This study examines the policy implications of law research in Equatorial Guinea, a country with significant legal frameworks that intersect gender and social issues. A qualitative study employing semi-structured interviews with diverse stakeholders, including judges, lawyers, activists, and policy-makers, to gather insights into the implementation and impact of laws related to gender equality and social justice. Interview data revealed a significant disparity in how legal policies are applied across different regions of Equatorial Guinea, particularly affecting rural areas where women's rights are more vulnerable due to limited access to judicial services. The study concludes that while there is progress towards gender equality through some legal reforms, substantial policy gaps exist that hinder equitable implementation and enforcement in many regions. Recommendations include the need for targeted policies addressing rural justice infrastructure and increased public awareness campaigns to bridge these disparities.
