ABOUT WOZA – WOMEN IN LAW SOUTH AFRICA
Whilst there is a worldwide recognition of leaders in law there are only a few countries who have embarked on awards to exemplify women in law.
WOZA AWARDS founded in 2018 is annually presented to women lawyers in recognition of their outstanding
dedication, achievements and contribution to the profession, whether it be services, legal
education, human rights or the pro bono sector.
WOZA awards share, highlight and recognise the challenges women in law face in all areas of
lawyering.
WOZA awards will foster a band of innovative and next generation thought leaders.
WOZA awards will empower, mentor & strengthen women lawyers to aspire higher.
Africa is new to the territory of a woman only stand-alone law awards event.
There is a need to celebrate the successes of women in the profession and to close the gender gap in order to create greater gender parity and recognition.
It is against this background that the need for an awards programme just for women was born.
WOZA is a Zulu word meaning “come” “come along” “come aboard”.
