This conversation forms part of the CDH supports women's empowerment series. A series where several members of our firm will be discussing the importance of women's empowerment and the many ways CDH is dedicated hereto.

In this episode Pro Bono & Human Rights Director Brigitta Mangale and Senior Associate Elgene Roos as they discuss the role of impact litigation in enforcing and protecting the rights of women in South Africa.

They touch on some of the impactful litigation CDH's Pro Bono and Human Rights practice is involved in, as well as litigation brought by other organisations, which speaks directly to the continued vulnerability of women and the impact restrictive legislation can have on their lived realities. They further discuss the worrying opposition by the State when faced with litigation of this nature and how it is indicative of the society, we live in.
