Our Advocacy Team ensures that everything we do is grounded in equity, inclusion, and systemic change. Their mahi is driven by a commitment to amplifying underrepresented voices, uplifting intersectional experiences, and making space for kōrero that challenges and inspires.

Key initiatives include:

• Plead the Fifth Run Club - A weekly casual running group designed to promote physical wellbeing, reduce the stress culture of law school, and build community through movement. Open to all fitness levels, the programme concludes with a celebratory 10km run charity.

• The Legal Tea Book Club - A relaxed and inclusive space for students to discuss anything and everything legal - from current events to historic cases - through an intersectional and critical lens.

• Mana Wāhine Committee Representation - Our Advocacy Officers sit on Women in Law’s internal Mana Wāhine Committee, helping ensure our work is accountable to the values of manaakitanga, intersectionality, and kaupapa Māori.

• Educational Campaigns - The team regularly shares accessible content that breaks down legislation, policies, and legal issues impacting women and gender-diverse communities - helping our members stay informed, empowered, and engaged.

Through this kaupapa-led work, our Advocacy Team fosters a culture of collective care, critical thinking, and courage - making Women in Law not just a network, but a movement.
