International Bar Association - Gender Parity in the Legal Profession initiative

22 April 2025

The International Bar Association is currently running a global survey aimed at women legal practitioners and those who have left the profession in the last five years.

The survey is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.

Why does this matter?

The IBA wishes to gather information about women’s experience in law – in all legal sectors, (including the judiciary), in all countries and of any age – to understand the challenges, opportunities and to learn more about what is or is not working.

The IBA will also publish a report setting out the results, quoting from those who are willing to talk about their experience and looking to make recommendations. We are hoping that thousands of female practitioners will help us to generate rich data from which to draw important conclusions and identify good practice.
