Federal Minister Eva-Maria Holzleitner

Eva-Maria Holzleitner currently serves as Austrian Federal Minister for Women, Science and Research.

Law is never neutral. It reflects power structures but also holds the key to transforming them. When women are underrepresented in legislation, jurisprudence and legal professions, a crucial perspective on justice is missing. As Minister for Women, Science and Research, I am convinced: more equality in law means more equality in real life. We need strong, feminist women in all areas of the legal system – as leaders, judges, researchers and lawmakers. Because only a legal system that considers the realities of all can truly deliver justice.
