Meet the author of Sister in Law - Harriet Wistrich in conversation

Founder of the Centre for Women’s Justice, renowned feminist lawyer Harriet Wistrich will be talking about her work with Dame Vera Baird, previously Victims Commissioner and Professor in Criminology Practice at LSE.

In a remarkable legal career, Harriet has been at the forefront of some historic and ground-breaking legal victories, including the cases of Sally Challen, the victims of taxi driver and serial rapist John Worboys and the ‘spy cops’ scandal. Sister in Law provides a unique insight into ten of her hard-won cases, demonstrating that terrifyingly often the law is not fit-for-purpose for half the population.

This event falls on the eve of this year’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the annual international campaign that kicks off on 25 November, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

Both Harriet Wistrich and Dame Vera Baird live locally in Hornsey.

The ticket price includes a glass of wine or soft drink.
