Understanding migrant women’s issues with the law
Maurice Blackburn hosted the Victorian Women Lawyers' forum
'Migrant Women Speaking Out' on Wednesday 21 September.
The forum was an opportunity for women lawyers to increase their
understanding of how they can better help migrant women in
Australia.
Chinese community leader Marion Lau, OAM JP and Maurice
Blackburn lawyer Azmeena Hussain spoke about their
experiences as a migrant and first generation Australian
respectively.
Both speakers mentioned the need to break down barriers, and the
importance of community networks and building trust.
