About Us – Safi

SAFI NETWORKS AND SUPPORTS FEMALE ACADEMICS WHO CONDUCT RESEARCH ON LAW.

Women and their work are underrepresented and hardly visible in legal academia. There is insufficient networking among them. SAFI (Societas Feminarum Apertia in Iuris Theoria) is an interdisciplinary support network for women in legal academia. The purpose is to network internally, and to organize and cooperate strategically. In this way, female scholars can have a platform to present and amplify their work, and outstanding research by women can become firmly established in legal academia.
