All is set for the highly anticipated Women in Leadership in Law (WILIL) Project webinar taking place tomorrow.
Organised by the National Association of Women Judges of Nigeria (NAWJN) in collaboration with the International Association of Women Judges (IAWJ), the virtual event will focus on strengthening women’s leadership and inclusion in the justice system.
Themed “Enhancing Work-Life Balance and Accessibility in Court Settings,” the webinar aims to address challenges faced by women in law as they strive to balance family responsibilities and professional advancement.
According to the organisers, the event will raise awareness about the need for family-friendly court facilities and spotlight the Abia State Judiciary’s pioneering effort in establishing a creche and nursing room for working mothers.
Discussions will also explore how accessibility features can improve women’s participation in the legal system while encouraging policy innovation and inclusive workplace practices.
The WILIL Project, a multi-year initiative by IAWJ and Co-Impact, is designed to enhance women’s entry, retention, and leadership growth within the judiciary, particularly across developing nations.
Nigeria joins Kenya, South Africa, Mexico, and the Philippines as one of the five pilot countries implementing the groundbreaking initiative.
Members of the Nigerian Bar Association Women Forum, FIDA, the African Women Lawyers Association, the Magistrates Association of Nigeria (Women Wing), law teachers, legal professionals, judicial officers, and advocates for gender equity are encouraged to attend this transformative event aimed at building a more inclusive justice system for all.
