About Us
UoA Women in Law is a student-led charity committed to fostering an inclusive and empowering environment for women-identifying and gender-diverse law students at the University of Auckland. We champion intersectionality and advocate for gender equity within the legal community, both on campus and beyond.
While grounded in the legal discipline, our mission extends beyond traditional pathways, we advocate for gender equity across the broader professional landscape, including consulting, public policy, and corporate sectors, where many of our members go on to lead.
Through a range of academic, social, and community-oriented initiatives, we provide meaningful opportunities for students to connect, be supported, and contribute to positive change in the advocacy space.
One of our cornerstone initiatives is our Mentoring Programme, designed to support first-year law students from backgrounds underrepresented within the law school. Mentees are paired with experienced student mentors who offer guidance, encouragement, and a welcoming community throughout the year.
We are proud to collaborate with equity-focused groups across the university. As part of the Auckland Law School Equity Council and the Mana Wāhine Council, we work alongside other student organisations to promote a more inclusive, intersectional, and equitable environment across the legal education journey.
