Introduction to part 2

THE NEXT THREE CHAPTERS provide the basis for the subsequent analysis

of women’s access to legal services.

In chapter 3, the written and oral submissions made by New Zealand women are summarised under the five main themes emphasised in the consultation process: communication, culture, caregiving, cost and control.

In chapter 4, the social context for women’s concerns is further explored using statistical information about women in New Zealand based on Statistics New Zealand’s 1996 Census of Population and Dwellings.

Chapter 5 contains a descriptive, factual overview of legal services provision in New Zealand, thereby supplying the institutional context for women’s concerns.
