IWD 2022: Work together to break the bias

The theme of this year’s International Women’s Day is #BreakTheBias. Women are encouraged to take action to interrupt biases that may prevent us from realizing our gender-equal goals. In striving to achieve these goals, we must work together to fight against the bias, stereotypes, and discrimination towards female lawyers and women in all walks of life.

Resource groups/networks are essential to support female lawyers and are key to the success of diversity at law firms. The following are valuable sources of support, development, and networking for female lawyers in the region:

The Asian Australian Lawyers Association https://www.aala.org.au/
Association of Asian Women Lawyers http://www.aawl.org.uk/
Singapore Association of Women Lawyers https://sawlsgp.org/
Women in Law Hong Kong https://www.wilhk.com/about-us
