The first in a series of interviews showcasing women lawyers across Africa, Darshani Parsuraman, an ExCo Committee member, interviews Kondwa Sakala-Chibiya from Zambia. A former President of the SADC Lawyers Association, Vice Chair of the Zambian Human Rights Commission, past Honorary Secretary of the Law Association of Zambia, arbitrator and managing partner of a Zambian law firm, Kondwa discusses her career, achievements, the challenges she has faced and what keeps her engaged with her role in a  lively, engaging exchange. Practicing law for 25 years with a strong pedigree of public service and commitment to female rights and access to justice, we can think of no better lawyer to launch our new initiative.
