African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA), has commemorated International Women’s Day for Peace and Disarmament.
Today – May 24, 2022 AWLA acknowledged and celebrated the historic and current efforts of women for peace building and disarmament.
This was disclosed in a statement by the Association’s President Amanda Demechi-Asagba.
She said; “We salute you all and urge more women to get involved in peace building and disarmament from your little corner.
“There is a woman in every home, do not be a party to any form of injustice. Resist it from its very foundation.
“Nip it in the bud. Take action today if you see something, say something, do something.
“Evil thrives when good people see something wrong and fail to take action.
“The message is clear: we refuse violence as a solution to the world’s challenges. Violence in the world has taken a very dangerous intolerable dimension such that urgent drastic measures must be taken to stop violence.
“The recent war in Ukraine, the needless barbaric killings in Nigeria and other uprisings in different parts of the world are scary.
“Life doesn’t seem sacrosanct anymore neither is the Rule of Law ruling.
“We seize this opportunity to call on all aggrieved persons to sheath their swords and embrace dialogue and peaceful resolution through mediation.
“Where mediation fails, the courts are there.
“This is the time governments all over the world should give priority to justice and security and ensure justice is served without fear or favour.
“The failure of the justice system is the result we are all seeing today: injustice swept under the carpet will always rear its ugly head- ANARCHY.
“We can achieve more through peaceful resolutions than war and violent killings. A life once lost can never be brought back.
“Yes, the infrastructural destruction can be rebuilt, however it’s a waste of scarce resources.
“Liberia till date is yet to recover fully. The oppressors should learn from history that those who oppressed in the past are today full of regrets and miserable. Nemesis will always catch-up with them.
“Peace is the key to life, progress and prosperity while war is the key to death, destruction and stagnancy.
“It’s a choice we all have to make. We at AWLA are working for a just and peaceful world, one that meets human needs, not military ones.
“We at AWLA Choose Peace – #IChoosePeace. How about you?”
