As a feminist lawyer and advocate for gender equality, my life passion is working to ensure that women and girls everywhere can have and enjoy equal rights and opportunities. A key first step to building a fairer and more just world lies on the premise of having laws and legal institutions that support such goals, wherein women have a key role. Equal opportunities for women in law is a condition sine qua non for advancing gender justice for all.
