For those among us who do not have a law degree, legal issues can be quite overwhelming. But it is still very likely that we will have to face them at some point in our life. Maybe after being fired, getting divorced and when we wish to take someone to court who caused us harm.

Then it is important to know our rights. But if we don’t know them, there is a place that can help. It is called the vrouwenrechtswinkel. Raja Azaroual is a lawyer, working at the vrouwenrechtswinkel and today she is going to explain the legal situation of women in the Netherlands and what still needs to improve.

Additional info: Vrouwenrechtswinkel is an initiative of Bureau Clara Wichmann together with the Law Hub of the University of Amsterdam and is subsidized by the city of Amsterdam
