Association">Legal Policy & Research Unit</a> (LPRU) is focused on <strong>Ukraine</strong>. It reveals that women make up a significant percentage of the jurisdiction’s legal profession, both overall and in senior roles, across all sectors.</p> <p>Research found that overall women make up 56 per cent of all lawyers in Ukraine, with 53 per cent in senior roles – the highest percentage among the ten countries thus far studied. The Ukrainian public sector has the highest proportion of women lawyers at a senior level (76 per cent), followed by the corporate sector (59 per cent), and the judiciary (40 per cent). Law firms have the lowest percentage of female lawyers in senior positions (38 per cent). </p> <p>Written by the <a href="https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=b2d1778c497324e6JmltdHM9MTcyODAwMDAwMCZpZ3VpZD0xMjlmM2FkZS0wZTlhLTZlYWItMTMwYS0yZWI1MGZlMzZmYjEmaW5zaWQ9NTE5OA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=3&fclid=129f3ade-0e9a-6eab-130a-2eb50fe36fb1&psq=ukraine+bar+association&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly91YmEudWEvZW5nLyM6fjp0ZXh0PVRoZSBVQkEgaGFzIGNhbGxlZCBvbiB0aGUgcGFybGlhbWVudHMgb2YgdGhlIFVuaXRlZA&ntb=1">Ukrainian Bar Association</a>, the <a href="https://www.ibanet.org/document?id=IBA-Gender-Report-Ukraine-2024">50:50 by 2030: A longitudinal study into gender disparity in law – UKRAINE RESULTS REPORT</a> is the tenth in the series released by the IBA in collaboration with the <a href="https://www.lexisnexisrolfoundation.org/">LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation</a> (LNROLF). The research is part of a nine-year project examining the statistical disparity between men and women in senior roles across the legal profession – private practice, in-house legal teams, public sector institutions and the judiciary. The project aims to uncover the root causes of gender disparity at the top of the legal profession, identify whether diversity initiatives introduced to address this disparity are having any impact and produce a blueprint for gender equality at all levels. </p> <p>Without the work of the UBA, the study of Ukraine would not have been possible. Since the Russian invasion in February 2022, Ukraine’s lawyers and judges have fought to uphold the values of the legal profession under the most egregious circumstances, with their tenacity, stoicism and resilience maintaining gender equality as a key issue for the profession.</p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-3 mb-3 mb-md-0"> <img alt="..." class="img-fluid w-100 img-shadow mb-2" src="/document?id=50-50-Ukraine-report-thumbnail" title="" /> <p class="text-center mt-3"><a class="btn btn-primary download-btn mb-2" href="/document?id=IBA-Gender-Report-Ukraine-2024">Download report</a> <a class="btn btn-primary download-btn" href="/document?id=IBA-Gender-Report-Ukraine-2024-UKR">завантажити звіт</a> </p> </div> </div> <p class="pl-5"><strong>Mykola Stetsenko, President of the Ukrainian Bar Association</strong>, wrote in the report’s foreword: <em>‘This document not only encapsulates our accomplishments and the challenges we face but also carves a path toward achieving equality and fairness.

The IBA LPRU contributed to the talk the findings of <a href="https://www.ibanet.org/document?id=IBA-Gender-Report-Mexico-2024">Mexico’s legal profession</a>, which had just been published.</p></li> <li> <p>The <a href="http://www.ibanet.org/">International Bar Association</a> (IBA), <em>the global voice of the legal profession</em>, is the foremost organisation for international legal practitioners, bar associations and law societies. Established in 1947, shortly after the creation of the <a href="http://www.un.org/">United Nations</a>, it was born out of the conviction that an organisation made up of the world's bar associations could contribute to global stability and peace through the administration of justice. </p><p>The IBA has considerable expertise in providing assistance to the global legal community, and through its global membership, it influences the development of international law reform and helps to shape the future of the legal profession throughout the world.</p><p></p></li> <li> <p>Find the IBA on social media here:</p> <ul class="include-chevron nested"> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/IBAnews">x.com/IBAnews</a></li> <li> <a href="https://twitter.com/IBAevents">x.com/IBAevents</a></li> <li> <a href="https://x.com/IBAHagueOffice">x.com/IBAHagueOffice</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/internationalbarassociation">www.facebook.com/internationalbarassociation</a></li> <li> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/international-bar-association">www.linkedin.com/company/international-bar-association</a></li> </ul> </li> </ol> <p><strong> Press Office<br /> International Bar Association </strong><br /> Chancery House<br /> 53-64 Chancery Lane<br /> London WC2A 1QS </p> <p> Main Office: +44 (0)20 7842 0090<br /> Website: <a href="http://www.ibanet.org/">www.ibanet.org </a> </p> <p>IBA website page link for this news release:<br /> Short link: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/wa73345p">https://tinyurl.com/wa73345p</a><br /> Full link: <a href="https://www.ibanet.org/Ukraine-Women-hold a-significant-number-of-senior-roles-across-all-sectors-of-the-law-IBA-report-on-gender-equality-reveals">https://www.ibanet.org/Ukraine-Women-hold a-significant-number-of-senior-roles-across-all-sectors-of-the-law-IBA-report-on-gender-equality-reveals</a> </p> <p> <style type="text/css">.similar-articles {display: none;} ol.include-number li ul li {counter-increment: none} ul.nested li a {margin-left: 20px} .articleSection .articleBanner {object-fit: fill} </style> </p> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> </div> </div> </div> <ul class="share"> <li> <a data-href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://www.ibanet.org/Ukraine-Women-hold-a-significant-number-of-senior-roles-across-all-sectors-of-the-law-IBA-report-on-gender-equality-reveals" target="_blank" class="fab fa-twitter"></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.ibanet.org/Ukraine-Women-hold-a-significant-number-of-senior-roles-across-all-sectors-of-the-law-IBA-report-on-gender-equality-reveals" target="_blank" class="fab fa-facebook-f"></a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.ibanet.org/Ukraine-Women-hold-a-significant-number-of-senior-roles-across-all-sectors-of-the-law-IBA-report-on-gender-equality-reveals" target="_blank" class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></a> </li> </ul> </div></div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> <div class="container"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot row"> </div></div> </div> <div class="bg-light border-top printOff"> <footer class="py-5"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="yCmsContentSlot"> <div class="yCmsComponent w-100"> <div class="content"><style type="text/css">footer, .footer-bottom {background: #01277a !important;} .footer-bottom p, footer p, footer address ,footer li, footer a, .footer-bottom a {color: #FFFFFF!important;
