Dunja’s commitment to equity and inclusion spans over a decade of volunteer work supporting underrepresented communities.

WLGYL helps participants prepare for professional life through practical workshops and community-building experiences. Mercurae Law has been a strong supporter of the initiative having previously provided work experience opportunities to participants and regularly hosting WLGYL events in its offices.
