The subject of our scientific concern refers to the safeguarding of the Fundamental Rights of
Women through effective Access to Justice. This and other rights are enshrined in national
legislation and international diplomas. In this sense, the aim is to analyze the difficulties of
effective access to justice for women in the jurisdictional scope, more specifically, in the Family
Courts of Maceió. Thus, this research project has the scope to gather some theoretical
contributions linked to empirical research that can support agents of the justice system in the
analysis of law in a gender perspective focused on the realization of women's right to access
justice. To this end, it is necessary to deepen the main normative references of the international
and inter-American human rights protection systems on the State's responsibility to eliminate
the stereotypes that produce intersectional discrimination against women. In this sense, the
Judiciary is competent to ensure the rights of each citizen, promoting justice and resolving
probable conflicts that may arise in society. Thus, it must strive for action aimed at equal
treatment between men and women in the courts of justice and to eliminate all forms of
discrimination against women. However, several academic studies and follow-up reports on the
implementation of international and inter-American treaties on women's human rights have
pointed to a diversity of obstacles that women still face in order to achieve the right to access
justice.
