Rebecca Hilsenrath, Chief Executive of the Human Rights and Equality Commission

We had the honour of hosting Rebecca Hilsenrath, the Chief Executive of the Human Rights and Equality Commission. She is an inspiring speaker who was able to give the girls an insight into careers in Law and the wide variety of job opportunities it opens. Rebecca went on to explain the important work that the commission conducts and gave interesting statistics about the challenges the UK faces. The students were able to ask insightful questions about the gender pay gap and the challenges of balancing family with work. Rebecca spoke eloquently about the joys of having a family of 4 boys and a foster daughter, whilst pursuing a rewarding and challenging career in the Law.
