The Justitia Awards honors outstanding women in the legal profession who have made significant contributions to the legal world leading to an increase in gender equality and diversity.
This category celebrates the most talented and impactful women in the legal professions, recognizing their achievements and contributions to society. The nominee is “the” outstanding woman of the year, demonstrating excellence as the most innovative and groundbreaking lifetime achiever.
She shares this award in this category with I. Stephanie Boyce, former President of the Law Society of England and Wales, UK.
These awards are held annually in Vienna by The Women in Law Initiative in Vienna. An international Jury votes to shortlist the nominees for this prestigious recognition from all over the world.
In her acceptance speech, Justice Malik said, “this award for me is not only about recognising the work
but the impact and most importantly, the journey that it has shaped.”
“An award such as this is not about just one woman, it belongs to all those women entering spaces where they were once excluded; it belongs to the women who bring that different perspective to institutions; it belongs to the women who make the voices of other women heard and most importantly it belongs to the women who help institutions and the law better reflect the people that suffer.” She added.
