Women's Rights are Human Rights is a simple truth with profound implications. The statement encapsulates the fundamental principle that the rights and freedoms of women are inseparable from the broader framework of human rights. It affirms that every woman, regardless of background, identity, or circumstances, is entitled to dignity, equality, and justice. Join us this week as we discuss the significance and highlight the far-reaching implications of injustice to a society as a whole. We will explore how the recognition and protection of women's rights not only benefit women themselves but also contribute to the advancement of human rights for all individuals. #INEVAWG #JusticeForAll #EndDiscrimination #FeministSolidarity

"There are 247 firms ranked by their Women in Law score, based on the percentages of women attorneys overall, and in partnership and leadership ranks, at each firm. In terms of scores, the Nos. 1, 2 and 3 firms maintain their standing, though there was some reordering beyond that point."

The Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) Committee has recognised that transgender and bisexual women, as well as intersex persons are at risk of particular discrimination, vulnerability or marginalisation. As stated in General Recommendation No 28, "the Committee leaves no doubt that the Convention protection, and hence the term ‘woman’, includes them irrespective of biological features. This is reflective of the understanding underlying the Convention that discrimination against women is not only sex-based discrimination but also, and fundamentally, gender-based discrimination." Check out the new (and free!) Best Practise guide released by Kaleidoscope Australia Human Rights Foundation to find out how CEDAW can be used the way it is intended, to protect the rights of ALL women and girls.

I am so proud of my young and energetic female lawyers. Happy Women's Day!   Despite achieving great success, many women entrepreneurs in law face significant challenges. These barriers and lack of support limit opportunities for some, extend the time it takes for others to succeed and take a heavy financial and emotional toll. However, the legal field is undergoing a historic transformation with digital tools, AI, and other innovations creating new economic opportunities. To fully capitalize on these benefits and achieve true diversity in leadership, we urgently need robust global action to invest in women in law.   Act and #investinher #inspreinclusion #IWD2024
