This project analyses the demand for marital conflict resolution services in West Africa and the impact of state intervention on gender inequalities. Using the experiences of native courts and maisons de justice in Senegal, we examine the short and long-term effects of the expansion of public justice services on gender norms and the relationship of litigants with the state. We also propose different experiments to help identify approaches to extend public services for marital conflict resolution to populations in need.
