This work examines the challenges rural women face in navigating SA's legal system. High litigation costs, travel distances and alien procedures hinder access to formal courts, while traditional tribunals offer a more accessible alternative with culturally attuned, affordable processes. Exploring the interplay between human rights, fair trial principles and traditional justice, this book is essential for understanding the barriers and solutions to achieving justice for rural women in SA.
