In this event to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022, barristers from Field Court Chambers will consider a case study with the audience, with the aim of highlighting how the law deals with gendered issues and, crucially, where it can go further.
Our case study follows Ayesha, a marketing executive who is navigating gendered issues arising in the context of her employment, her home, and welfare benefits. The case study will traverse gendered issues from an employment, public, and housing law perspective. It will be of interest to anyone interested in how the law helps women and addresses gendered issues, and the areas where the law can go further. It is intended for students, aspiring barristers, solicitors, barristers, and anyone interested in using the law to enhance greater equality.
Our barristers will guide you through the potential claims Ayesha may be able to bring in the courts of England and Wales, as well as other non-legal action Ayesha could take.
This interactive event will be from 5.30 – 6.30pm, with networking after the event until 7pm. The event will be livestreamed and recorded. It will be chaired by Natalie York. You can see the bios of the participants below:
