Thank you, Lise Lotte- I am honoured to take part! Quick plug, all- please have a look at the Law Society of England and Wales' Women in Law Pledge (which was supported by WLIG). We are keen to get as many organisations as possible to sign up. https://www.lawsociety.org.uk/en/campaigns/women-in-leadership-in-law/tools/the-women-in-law-pledge

@Monica, very interesting points that equality and sexual harassment might work contradictory and that the rule of law should not only protect the women but also the men harassing

Thanks Federica and Lisa for participating on the conversation.

@Hugo, all excellent points. However, always a challenge to change the unconscious so I fully concur with your point on quotas at least for now
