Ying Li
Lawyer
The Hope Brigade Beijing, 2021
As an advocate and practitioner of gender equality, "peace and justice" in my eyes is to eliminate gender violence and achieve gender equality... In the next ten years, as a lawyer and the leader of a women's NGO, I will continue to promote the improvement of laws to eliminate gender-based violence, provide stronger support to victims, and encourage more people to join it.
