“The Bar will struggle to achieve gender parity while it is self-employed”

In the latest episode of Thomson Reuters Legal UK & Ireland’s podcast series, The Hearing – the host, lawyer and social media commentator, Kevin Poulter, sits down with Dr Charlotte Proudman, Barrister at Goldsmith Chambers.

The self-proclaimed feminist speaks about how she dealt with being labelled as a ‘feminazi’ in newspapers, with her face on the front pages and being trolled by keyboard warriors, after she publicly challenged a senior solicitor over a now infamous message he sent via LinkedIn.

Proudman also discusses the feminist movement, gender parity in the workplace, women’s only events, and the difficult subject of disclosure around rape cases.
