SUMMARY:D&I DAY IBA Showcase: addressing bullying\, sexual harassment and
  other barriers to diversity in the legal profession
DESCRIPTION:In 2019\, the IBA released its landmark research on bullying 
 and sexual harassment in the legal profession. A global survey of approx
 imately 7\,000 legal professionals across 135 countries – the largest of
  its kind – found high rates of bullying and sexual harassment\, chronic
  underreporting and inadequate responses from workplaces. In addition to
  the compelling moral\, ethical and legal reasons to address such conduc
 t\, the survey also provides a strong business case: legal professionals
  are leaving their workplaces and the profession entirely due to bullyin
 g and sexual harassment. Urgent change is needed. In the first half of t
 his session a high-profile panel discusses the research and considers ho
 w the profession can effectively address bullying and sexual harassment.
 The second half features a broader discussion about how the profession c
 an overcome the numerous barriers to greater diversity and inclusivity w
 ith the global legal profession.
