small town feminist girl meets testosterone dominated legal world

And when they ask you, what did she say, tell them I asked you the most fundamental question of your life—who are you, and how are you using the powers of that self in the service of what you believe?

A very important episode is coming soon as @WaizaRafique and I talk about Enabling Work Environment and Spaces and address the issue of non-neutrality of certain laws that hinder operative #equality to be achieved in practice.

@shmyla How come I’m only seeing this now!?😞

ONE DAY PAKISTAN, ONE DAY! 🙏🏽

An example for us to follow. Go Ethiopia!

@marvisirmed @salmanAraja @iamthedrifter @LegalPolitical @a_siab @FarhatullahB Radio silence.........

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

these same menz are the ones who are all: woo, we're so feminist, we're probably more feminist than YOU! (except when it means making a female partner or voting her in at the Punjab Bar Council) 🙄

[Jawziya Zaman @jawziyazaman]

@LegallyBrownPK the menz: stop whining about the lack of representation and how hard it is and just join the profession IT'S YOUR PROBLEM AND YOUR SOLUTION.

One woman lying spoils the credibility of all women But one man raping or assaulting does not spoil the credibility of all men. If this is not male privilege then I don't know what is. #MeToo #Misogyny

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

@marvisirmed @salmanAraja @iamthedrifter @LegalPolitical @a_siab @FarhatullahB @hasilbizenjo I have faith in at least a handful of these fellas... please, don’t disappoint. 🙏🏽 We’ll only see a change when “high profile” male speakers take that leap.

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

@marvisirmed @salmanAraja @iamthedrifter @LegalPolitical @a_siab Take the #PanelPledge- if there isn’t a woman, insist that they add one or you won’t speak. Surely, there is one Pakistani constitutional scholar who would have been a good addition.

Bam! WAF back with a bang

[Investing visuals @ZeevyInvesting_]

There were three women who immediately shared their own stories regarding harassment at the hands of Ali Zafar. Humna Raza, Leena Ghani and Maham Javaid. Need help with identifying the other stories (not the victims!). Just the stories. @merabichrayaar @nehasaigol1 can you help?

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

Monday morning thoughts... We've now seen tons of panels which have no female members. But can we talk about the ridiculous number of law firms, law schools and legal institutions (looking at you, SCOP) that have no female members?!?

[Nida Usman Ch @NidaUsmanCh]

@lawqanooniat @LegallyBrownPK @Asma_Jahangir This lady who called this #manel out is in fact a lawyer #HafsaAhmed and she is part of our @WomenInLawPk network also. We definitely have some amazing women in law claiming their space in the profession.

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

@nidkirm @hussainjahanzeb @Asma_Jahangir It was so painful to watch. The schedule lists another woman moderator who (if you look closely) is seated behind all the men on a lone chair 😶

[legallybrown @LegallyBrownPK]

Just saw this video of a girl calling out the #AJCONF2018 Panel for having ONLY MEN on this huge panel. Got me thinking... What would @Asma_Jahangir say? :/

[Mehwish Muhib Kakakhel @Mehwishkakakhel]

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Female Lawyers meeting at Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Bar Council was held today in which the challenges which women lawyers face after becoming a female lawyer, how to reduce the issues they face and how the ratio of women lawyers can be increa…https://t.co/0BoFKQnDVj

Were any of you able to catch the reply (if there was one) to this? I didn't hear it in full, but I've heard it was lackluster. @theqanoondan @ShahNafisa @ZainabQ @NabilaFBhatti @KoblerinPAK @MaheenQasim @marvisirmed
