Pro Bono SHE*talks

In this episode, new hosts Hannah and Julia, together with the support of Lukas, kick off the new season of Pro Bono. The podcast presents organisations working at the intersection of law and civil society, with a particular focus on human rights, equality, and the rule of law.We were lucky to start a new season of Pro Bono with Alina and Hellena from SHE*talks, a women’s empowerment and networking initiative at the University of Vienna. SHE*talks aims to challenge outdated gender roles in legal education and strengthen the self-confidence of young women through open discussion, peer exchange, and critical reflection. You can see latest activities of SHE*talks and upcoming events on their instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/_she_talks_/ .Together, we talk about how SHE*talks started at the Juridicum, the topics addressed in past sessions, and what makes its discussion-based format unique and different from traditional lectures or seminars. We also explore gender-specific challenges faced by law students and graduates, the role of feminist conversations in the legal profession, and what it is like to run a student organisation alongside legal studies.This episode offers valuable insights for students interested in feminism, gender equality, voluntary student engagement, and the importance of creating inclusive spaces within legal education.
