Former Chairman of the Caliphate Bar, Rashidat Mohammed, Esq., has congratulated the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria on convening a dialogue examining the critical role of women lawyers in translating global commitments into community-level action through the localisation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325.
In her goodwill message, Mohammed described the dialogue as timely and nationally important, noting that the resolution, adopted 26 years ago, recognises women not only as victims of conflict but also as essential participants in peacebuilding and the advancement of security.
She commended FIDA Nigeria for its sustained legal advocacy in translating the objectives of the resolution from policy commitments into practical interventions within communities.
According to her, peace without justice is unsustainable, while justice without women’s participation remains incomplete. She emphasised that discussions on the four pillars of UNSCR 1325—Participation, Protection, Prevention, and Relief and Recovery—must address the realities confronting women across Nigeria.
Mohammed described the conference as more than another professional gathering, expressing hope that its deliberations and resolutions would extend beyond the conference venue to the National Assembly, the United Nations Security Council and communities where peacebuilding interventions are urgently needed.
She congratulated the FIDA Nigeria Country Vice President and the entire membership of the organisation, wishing participants fruitful deliberations.
