In late 2003, JSMP’s women researchers acquired access to closed sexual assault proceedings in Dili District Court and conducted widespread interviews of police, prosecutors, victims, judges and NGOs about issues affecting women in the formal justice sector. The results of the monitoring were memorialized in the report “Women in the Formal Justice Sector”. The report found that more attention should be given to the plight of female victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and rape, in Timor. In addition, the report made a number of recommendations.

JSMP’s Women’s Justice Unit was formed in April 2004 as the logical next step after the launch of report. The Women’s Justice Unit attempts to implement some of the recommendations from the report “Women in the Formal Justice Sector”. The Women’s Justice Unit has also conducted the following work:
