This study examines the relationship between legal accountability methods and improvements in intended sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) outcomes as a scoping review. According to our definition, legal responsibility is when people or states utilize criminal law procedures to prevent or cure undesirable behaviour when the state fails to respect, defend or fulfil SRHR as stipulated in national law. Using PubMed, Scopus, and LexisNexis, we conducted a keyword search before consulting with a panel of experts for advice on further peer-reviewed and grey literature, resulting in 191 articles. Peer-reviewed empirical studies focused mostly on abortion legislation and access to abortion care, then violence against women. The majority of the articles in this category focus on the discrepancies between the law and how it is applied in real life. For example, the way a law or court decision is formulated; access to courts; disadvantages of criminal law in the given context; cultural norms; politics. States' capacity and resources; and potential for further litigation are all factors that shape the effectiveness of legal accountability efforts. There have been many articles explaining how the court may be required to bring about change and how asserting one's rights may empower one, but also explaining how legal avenues for change can be flawed instruments for bringing about fairness. With proper consideration for context, legal responsibility may be an effective component of a larger, long-term plan
