Dilnoza's feedback:

Hello Camille. Thanks a lot for your contribution.Indeed Legal perspective is very relevant in VAW Wikipedia page. I have just a few comments. Since we are talking about particular type of violence which is VAW, I think in this title "Access to justice for women victims of violence" by saying "women victims of violence", one can understand it as any type of violence. Maybe "Access to justice for women victims of violence against women"? or "Access to justice for victims of VAW" (it is clear from the title VAW that victims are women) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dnigmonova (talk • contribs) 13:01, 8 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Female Genital Mutilation is still legal in a number of countries, for instance.' and Marital rape is still not illegal in some places Would be great to mention some of these countries where these violences are legal. In Singapore, for ex., marital rape is not considered as a VAW. This is great point: "Challenges in making a case in court. The burden of proof can be placed on the victim. For instance in the Philipines, before a change in law in 1997, rape used to be described as a crime against chastity and a woman had to prove she did not consent to losing her virginity. It can also be difficult to make a case of sexual assault in court when members of the judiciary, in some instances, continue to take evidence of a struggle and injury as determinative medical evidence. On the other hand, there are measures like the 2012 law in Brazil that allow for cases to be filed even without the representation of the victim." There are several small mistakes in spelling: "shelthers" in section Examples of measures put in place; martial rape - I guess you mean marital rape?; Philipines'- Philippines - in section The challenges women still face.
