What an incredible and inspiring day we, the Igbo Community Aberdeen Women (ICAWW), had on Saturday, 8th November 2025, at our General Meeting and Health Parley: “Women’s Voices.”
In partnership with Public Health Scotland and Grampian Sexual Health Services, the event brought together our vibrant community of women to discuss contraception, menopause, access to care, and the growing issue of hormone hesitancy.
We were honoured to welcome our distinguished guest consultants:
👩🏾⚕️ Dr. Dianna Reed – Consultant in Sexual & Reproductive Health
👩🏾⚕️ Dr. Danielle Brawley – Consultant in Sexual Health & HIV; Co-Chair of SHPN
👩🏾⚕️ Dr. Helena Young – Specialty Registrar, Community SRH
👩🏾⚕️ Dr. Carrie Hazel – Specialty Doctor, Sexual & Reproductive Health
The discussions were rich, the atmosphere warm, and the feedback deeply encouraging. Together, we created a safe space where women’s voices were truly heard and valued, shaping conversations that will inform and strengthen women’s health in our community and across Scotland.
A huge thank you to our ICAWW Executive Committee: Dr. Jennifer Anyika, Mrs. Igho Ofordile, Mrs. Nneka Onu, and Mrs. Chineye Unachukwu, all Committee Leaders; our amazing members (without whom there would be no community); and every woman who showed up with openness, courage, and community spirit.
📸 Here are some beautiful moments from the day!
We invite all Igbo women in Aberdeen to join our growing community as we look forward to more impactful events and initiatives that uplift, educate, and empower.
