Every year since 2016, Doughty Street Chambers has brought together lawyers, judges, politicians, campaigners, and academics to mark International Women’s Day by asking “What more the law can do for women and girls?” In 2026, the need to stand and work together is more important than ever.

This year the global theme for IWD is GivetoGain. Doughty Street Chambers is supporting Women for Refugee Women as our selected charity for IWD 2026.

For those joining us – or who can’t make it this year, if you are able, we invite you to consider even a small donation to support Women for Refugee Women and their hugely important work.
