It has been a challenging and very different year for WBB but we are so grateful for all of the love and support we have had from our followers, the Law School and beyond. Happy International Women’s Day from WBB 🧡❤️🧡❤️

Today on #IWD2021 we celebrate our amazing female staff, students and alumni around the world.

We spoke to the @wbb_leeds President about the work they’ve done this year to connect future women leaders and provide them with inspirational role models.
