gender parity at the most senior levels of the legal profession. The first-of-its-kind, nine-year study will identify barriers and track progress of achieving equal representation of women in the highest levels of private practice, in-house positions, the public sector, and the judiciary.</strong></p> <p> The <a href="/">International Bar Association</a> and <a href="https://www.lexisnexisrolfoundation.org/" target="_blank">LexisNexis Rule of Law Foundation</a> are collaborating on an ambitious global research project on gender equality in the legal profession. This study will focus on the number of senior women across private, public, judicial and in-house legal sectors in 16 jurisdictions. The aim of this project is to identify the statistical disparity between men and women at senior levels in the legal profession on a global scale, and identify whether diversity initiatives introduced to address this disparity are having any impact.</p> <p class="mb-3"> <a aria-controls="ReadMore" aria-expanded="false" data-toggle="collapse" href="#ReadMore" role="button"> Read more <i class="fas fa-plus"> </i> </a> </p> <div class="collapse" id="ReadMore"> <div class="card card-body mb-3"> <p> Current research shows that females make up the majority of law students and graduates globally, but this is not reflected in the statistics of those working at senior levels, across all legal sectors, where women still constitute a far smaller proportion than their male counterparts. The project seeks to understand and address this gap via a longitudinal study, and provide practical conclusions and guidance to the global legal profession.</p> <p> While previous studies have focused primarily on commercial law firms, where data and willingness to participate have been prevalent, the IBA study will be the first to provide global data from law firms, the Bar, government, public prosecution, in-house lawyers and the judiciary. Data will be collected every three years, over a nine-year period. The study will go beyond simply identifying challenges faced by women practitioners; determining what measures and initiatives are being enacted by the profession; and tracking whether they are having an any meaningful impact upon the proportion of women lawyers in positions of seniority.</p> <p> In March 2022, the first of the project’s reports was released on <a href="https://www.ibanet.org/document?id=50-50-by-2030-A-longitudinal-study-into-gender-disparity-in-law-England-and-Wales">England and Wales</a>.

This directly clashes with the principles defended by our profession. The legal sector cannot afford this contradiction and should lead by example. With the benefit of raised general awareness around discrimination, it is time for increased action. The IBA is committed to developing solutions that will bring about lasting change to reflect the broader profession and society as a whole'</p> <p><em>Almudena Arpón de Mendívil, President,

development training for women </strong></h5> <p>A new case study on gender equality in the Nepalese legal profession, produced by DLA Piper’s nonprofit affiliate New Perimeter, has been released in collaboration with the IBA’s 50:50 by 2030 Gender Project. The report, International training of women lawyers in Nepal: A case study, focuses on the professional development training given to Nepalese female lawyers in 2015 and 2016, analyses its successes and lessons learnt, and includes interviews with both trainers and trainees. The training, delivered by New Perimeter alongside the Nepal Bar Association and other organisations, serves as an excellent example of how to shift the dial in gender equality in the legal profession through international collaboration. This case study complements the reports released by the IBA on gender disparity in the legal profession in England & Wales, Nigeria, Spain, The Netherlands and Uganda.</p> <a class="btn btn-primary download-btn" href="/document?id=International-training-of-women-lawyers-case-study-Nepal">Download case study</a></div></div><div class="yCmsComponent col-12 mb-4"> <div class="content"><div class="card"> <div class="card-body"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-12 col-md-9 my-auto"> <h4><strong>Women and Diversity in Law Awards</strong></h4> <p>Congratulations to the Legal Policy & Research Unit and International Bar Association, who were the winners of two awards at the Women and Diversity in Law Awards, hosted on 13 March 2024.<br /><a href="/IBA-wins-at-UKs-Women-and-Diversity-in-Law-Awards">Read more</a></p> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-3 mt-3 mt-md-0 d-none d-md-block"> <img alt="" class="img-fluid w-100 border border-primary rounded rounded-md" src="/document?id=LPRU-carousel3" title="" /> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div><div class="yCmsComponent col-12"> <div> <div class="cardWrrper news_block"> <div> <div class="row m-0 mb-4 p-0 no-gutters myAccontOption myAccountArticles"> <div class="card col-sm-12 myAccountOptionContent"> <div class="card-header"> <h2 class="d-inline"> Related podcasts<div class="all_links mt-sm-0 mt-0"> </div> </h2> </div> <div class="card-body publications pl-0 pr-0" > <div class="row no-gutters"> <div class="col-12 col-sm-12"> <div class="row px-2 px-md-0 px-lg-0 contentListing no-gutters tile-view"> <div class="col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3 mb-3 py-0"> <div class="item active"> <div class="card articleItem"> <img src="/medias/thumbnail-marlen.png?context=bWFzdGVyfHJvb3R8MzY3NDd8aW1hZ2UvcG5nfGFESTNMMmc1T1M4NU1EQTBNVGcwTlRBeU16QXlMM1JvZFcxaWJtRnBiQ0J0WVhKc1pXNHVjRzVufDRlMDgxZmJlMjRlNmQ3ZGQ2NzFhY2U0MjNlOTdhNGM1MDcyNjc5Y2UwOWRhNGY5NTdmMjAyZjE3MDQxODUzODg" class="card-img-top" alt="Sustainable Law in Action: A conversation with Spanish senior lawyer Marlen Estévez"> <div class="d-flex flex-column"> <div class="card-body articleContent"> <h2 class="card-title card__name"> <a href="/Podcast-Sustainable-Law-in-Action-Marlen-Estevez">Sustainable Law in Action: A conversation with Spanish senior lawyer Marlen Estévez</a> </h2> <p class="date"> <i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i> | 30 May 2023</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="col-12 col-md-4 col-lg-3 mb-3 py-0"> <div class="item "> <div class="card articleItem"> <img src="/medias/Georgia-Dawson-Pod-thumbnail.png?context=bWFzdGVyfHJvb3R8NDMyOTd8aW1hZ2UvcG5nfGFHVTNMMmd4WlM4NE9UWTFORGs0TmprNU9EQTJMMGRsYjNKbmFXRWdSR0YzYzI5dUlGQnZaQ0IwYUhWdFltNWhhV3d1Y0c1bnwxNjQzMmFkNDRmYjAxMDAxOWZlOWM3ZjlkZjE2ZGMxNzY4ZWM4NDQ3ZDE4MjQyMmJjODQ1MDcxOTk5ZjJkNzJl" class="card-img-top" alt="Sustainable Law in Action: Achieving true equality in the legal profession – a conversation with Georgia Dawson"> <div class="d-flex flex-column"> <div class="card-body articleContent"> <h2 class="card-title card__name"> <a href="/Sustainable-Law-in-Action:-how-can-we-achieve-true-equality-in-the-legal-profession ">Sustainable Law in Action: Achieving true equality in the legal profession – a conversation with Georgia Dawson</a> </h2> <p class="date"> <i class="far fa-calendar-alt"></i> | 11 January 2023</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div> <div class="container-fluid"> </div> <div class="container"> </div> <div class="container-fluid"> </div> <div class="container"> </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;
