The German Women Lawyers’ Association is an association of female lawyers and econo-mists. Its primary goal is to achieve substantive equality for women in all areas of society and to help realize women’s human rights. It was founded in 1948, bringing together women from all legal professions. The German Women Lawyers’ Association addresses gender-based discrimination in every field of society, professional and family life by advo-cating for and participating in law reforms, by submitting amicus curiae briefs to the Feder-al Constitutional Court, by reporting to human rights bodies, by offering continued legal education, by supporting young female legal professionals and scholars, and by bringing together women lawyers from all walks of life.
