Virtual Work Experience Programme (Day 2): Careers in Law Firms Advocating for Girls’ Rights

In this insightful morning session, Annabelle Woghiren of Clyde & Co. guided participants through the powerful intersection of corporate law and social justice in Careers in Law Firms Advocating for Girls’ Rights. Annabelle offered a behind-the-scenes look at how major law firms are using pro bono work and corporate social responsibility (CSR) to advance gender justice. Drawing from her legal career and work at the forefront of pro bono strategy, she showed how lawyers can leverage institutional power to drive meaningful change for girls around the world. Participants were invited to step into the shoes of legal advocates, drafting proposals for pro bono initiatives tackling issues such as child marriage, access to education, and gender-based violence. In a collaborative feedback session, they refined their ideas and deepened their understanding of what effective, ethical advocacy looks like within the legal sector. This session was a powerful reminder that a legal career doesn’t have to choose between justice and the corporate world, with purpose, strategy, and commitment, the two can go hand in hand to create lasting impact.
