Cambridge Women in Law Launch: Panel 2 - Women in the wider world (audio)

Cambridge Women in Law (CWIL) is an exciting new social network of alumnae at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, which features a diverse range of women from all sectors. CWIL was officially launched on 27 September with an event to mark the centenary of the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919, when women were finally allowed to practise. The aim of the event, which coincided with the Cambridge Alumni Festival, was to celebrate the contribution of Law alumnae into legal practice and to the wider world. The Faculty also hosted an exhibition of the much heralded First 100 Years Project (https://first100years.org.uk/). The event was divided into three parts: The first was a panel focusing on issues facing women in practice. Second there was a panel which was oriented around women who have had an impact on the world outside practice, such as in the field of public policy. Finally, there was a discussion with UK Supreme Court Justices Lady Hale and Lady Arden. Equality and diversity were key discussion themes throughout. This video is the second Panel, introduced by Professor Catherine Barnard and moderated by Nicola Padfield (Master of Fitzwilliam College): Panel 2: Women in the wider world: - Clare Algar - Director of Global Operations at Amnesty International. - Sally Boyle - International Head of Human Capital Management for Goldman Sachs and a member of the European Management Committee. - Lucy Frazer Q.C., M.P. - M.P. for South-East Cambridgeshire. - Katerina Gould - Founder and principal coach at Thinking Potential which she established in 2005, following a career in corporate management and entrepreneurship.
