Abstract
The paper deals with the right to free legal aid for victims of gender-based violence in the Republic of Serbia. The Law on Free Legal Aid entered into force in November 2019, and after two and a half years, there are certain shortcomings in the implementation visible in practice. The paper is divided into several parts, and the authors explain the background of the research in the introductory considerations, emphasizing the key legal provisions that were the subject of the research, after which the main part of the paper presents the results of the research conducted in the first quarter of 2022. The questionnaire sent to lawyers contained 22 questions, with a focus on providing free legal aid to victims of gender-based violence, for the period since November 1, 2019. The results show that the legal framework, but also the practice of providing free legal aid by local governments, is not at a satisfactory level.
