	Description:		Being shot at, going to prison, have your family threatened — that's the experience of female judges in many countries. Shakila Abawi Shigarf was forced to flee Afghanistan when the Taliban retook power in August 2021. The Australian chapter of the International Association of Women Judges was instrumental in helping 17 Afghan judges escape the danger and secure entry to Australia. Members of the association are now helping the judges settle into their new home. Big Ideas picks up on legal issues on regular basis ... and we would like to point you to this two-part series on The Law Report about extraordinary women judges. This is the first episode of 'women in the law'. To hear the second part look for The Law Report on the ABC Listen app.
