As the legal profession celebrated International Women’s Day, a senior advocate has urged stakeholders to renew their commitment to addressing pending challenges and fostering an inclusive environment for women lawyers and judicial officers.

In a statement, Afam Osigwe, SAN reflected on the progress made so far in the profession, from the first female lawyer and judge to the milestones of Nigeria’s first female Senior Advocate and Chief Justice.

However, Osigwe emphasized that more still needs to be done, calling on all members of the legal community to offer greater support to the cause of gender equality in the profession.

“While we acknowledge the strides made, it is crucial to credit the collective efforts of those who have passionately advocated for the cause of women in our profession,” he stated.

“However, we must not rest on our laurels. There are still pending issues that require our attention and concerted efforts.”

The senior advocate urged strengthening collaboration with organizations like the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) and the NBA Women’s Forum to tackle outstanding challenges.

“By joining forces, we can face the pending challenges head-on and work towards creating a more inclusive and equitable legal profession,” Osigwe added.

He described the day as not merely a celebration but “a call for renewed commitment from all stakeholders in the legal profession.”

Osigwe tasked the legal community to collectively strive for a profession that embraces diversity and provides equal opportunities for all genders.

“Together, we can build a more inclusive future for the legal community,” his statement concluded.
