Today, I join other women globally, especially members of our noble profession across our great country, as we celebrate the International Women’s Day today, the 8th Day of March, 2020.

This year’s celebration with the theme , “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”, is striking as it is aimed at bringing together ”people of every gender, age, ethnicity, race, religion and country, to drive actions that will create the gender-equal world we all deserve.”

It is very apt at a time like this, when the world has witnessed a high rise in cases of violence against women, descrimination at places of work, political and religious offices based on gender and sexual and reproductive health abuses.

Our noble association, the Nigerian Bar Association, NBA can be a shining light in galvanizing members to stop the acts of violence against women, work place descrimination, sexual abuse targeted at women and promote the rights of women in our society and association. Together, we can also build a gender equal NBA.

While celebrating the International Women’s Day, I urge us to retain the ideals behind the adoption of this day, twenty five years ago in Beijing, China today and always.

Happy Women’s Day!

Former National Treasurer, NBA 2012-2014.
