Paragraph
Paragraph text
It is crucial to construct an inclusive justice system that is close to the people, both socially and geographically. Ensuring access to justice for the poor requires well-functioning judicial systems and laws that do not solely reflect the interests of wealthy and more powerful groups but also take into account income and power imbalances. Reforms must be implemented with the effective and meaningful participation of persons living in poverty.
