One article brought the other and so this site was created to bring awareness and inform of the women’s rights, the practices as imposed under national and European legislation and case law and generally to support and inform every woman with regards to her rights which she must claim. The contributor to this page is a practicing advocate since 2013.
The articles consist of selected social and legal topics concerning women with elements of self-knowledge, self-confidence and empowerment.
