Access to justice for people living in poverty 2012, para. 21
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Persons living in poverty may choose not to seek justice because they fear reprisal or sanction from more powerful actors within or outside their community, or fear being stigmatized or discriminated against. Having experienced discrimination and abuse at the hands of the police and other authorities throughout their lives, people living in poverty are often averse to relying upon formal legal processes for fear of being subject to further exploitation or corruption, or of receiving an unjust outcome. Certain groups, such as ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples or irregular migrants, may be reluctant to engage with the justice system owing to concerns relating to the respect of their own values or owing to their immigration status.
