Jennifer Robinson joins festival

We are thrilled to announce that internationally respected lawyer Jennifer Robinson has been added to the stellar festival lineup on Saturday 5 April. Jen, as she is known, will speak about the recently released uncensored, unredacted edition of her 2022 best-selling book How Many More Women? 

From Brittany Higgins and Grace Tame to the international spectacle of Johnny Depp v Amber Heard and the furore that followed that unwanted kiss at the Women’s World Cup final, women are defying the historic expectation that they will not speak out. But as they grow more empowered, a new form of systematic silencing is becoming more evident: the spike in survivors speaking out is often followed by a spike in legal actions against them and the media.

Jen will speak to Elfy Scott about the way in which laws around the world silence women and the path forward.

Jennifer Robinson is one of the most esteemed and highly regarded human rights lawyers globally and is renowned for her groundbreaking work in high-profile cases. She is a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers in London and has acted in key human rights and media freedom cases in domestic and international courts. Jen is best known for her work defending Julian Assange and securing his release home to Australia; successfully defending Amber Heard; and for taking climate change to the world’s highest court. Jen sits on the boards of the Grata Fund, the European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights and the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights at Oxford University.
