"The Department of Justice Canada, in co-operation with the provinces and territories, is developing a new legal aid policy framework. This paper will contribute to laying the necessary knowledge base for incorporating a gender perspective in the policy renewal process. It is based on a review of the literature and a limited number of key informant interviews. Its purpose is to examine the legal aid and other legal needs of women when they are accused of criminal offences; during the times when they are serving a penitentiary sentence or on conditional release; as survivors of intimate violence who are required to give evidence against their abusive partners; as complainants and as third parties in sexual assault cases; as claimants in criminal injuries compensation proceedings; and as participants in restorative processes."--Page 1.
