I am delighted to convey my heartfelt goodwill to the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Anambra State Branch as you commemorate the 2025 FIDA Week and Award Day.
This annual event has become a defining platform for reflection, advocacy, and collective commitment to the protection of rights across our society, and I commend FIDA Anambra for sustaining its integrity and purpose.
The chosen theme for this year, “Unmasking the Pain: An Exploration of the Causes and Consequences of Intimate Partner Violence among Adults,” is both timely and profoundly necessary.
It acknowledges a reality many live with but seldom speak about,a reality filled with emotional wounds, psychological burdens, and social complications masked behind everyday interactions.
Addressing this issue with honesty and courage is an essential step toward healing individuals, strengthening families, and restoring community harmony.
By bringing this theme to the forefront, FIDA Anambra demonstrates its unwavering dedication to confronting hard truths and offering meaningful pathways to justice.
Intimate partner violence is not only a matter of personal distress; it is a breach of fundamental rights, a threat to wellbeing, and a challenge that requires the concerted effort of legal practitioners, policymakers, and society at large.
I applaud the distinguished chairman of the occasion, the esteemed Chief Host, and the entire FIDA leadership and planning committee for their meticulous efforts in organizing this event.
Your resolve to illuminate hidden struggles and advocate for those affected reflects a depth of compassion and professionalism that deserves recognition.
As you gather for this year’s FIDA Week at the FIDA Law Centre, Awka, I hope the discussions, insights, and engagements will lead to stronger interventions, improved support systems, and a renewed societal pledge to end intimate partner violence.
I congratulate FIDA Anambra and wish you a productive, impactful, and inspiring 2025 FIDA Week. May your work continue to touch lives and shape a safer, kinder society for all.
