The article Gender Equality Legal Clinic for Gender Justice in Europe deals with clinical legal education with a focus on women’s rights, and with pointing to importance of facilitating pro bono projects of this kind. GELC enables giving direct advices and assistance to women, and sometimes an assistance before the courts. Women do face gender–based barriers in accessing justice. Legal aid clinics and clinical legal education contribute differently but cumulatively to combatting gender-based injustice conceived as discrimination, inequality, violence and lack of access to justice. Reasons for ill treatment of women before the law is due to gender insensitive laws – discriminatory laws, male-dominated laws, gender-biased laws as well as biased and stereotyped judgments by the judges made in a gender incompetent manner.

GELC education is important for the knowledge-based empowerment especially of vulnerable groups, while poverty and lack of education are strong barriers in access to justice.
