The International President of FIDA (International Federation of Women Lawyers) Carolina Ríos Villota has received the first delegate to the association’s 38th triennial convention taking place in Cali, Colombia.
It was with much excitement that Ríos Villota welcomed Amina Agbaje, the Country Vice President of FIDA Nigeria who she picked up from the airport with her husband Edward.
This year’s convention which will be held at Dann Carlton Hotel in Cali, Colombia will run from 4th to 8th November.
FIDA triennial convention venues rotate between different regions and countries and the elected president has the opportunity to host them.
Since the first convention was held in 1945 in Havana, Cuba, every three years FIDA brings together the international community of women lawyers in different countries around the world to host an international convention to promote and advance the improvement of laws relating to women’s and children’s human rights.
Thus, through conferences, panels and workshops, legal experiences dealt with by the judiciary in different countries and current debates about women and children will be explored.
At this convention, practical strategies will be implemented in relation to the ecological impact and the reduction of carbon footprints as a challenge for our organization, in line with the SDGs.
