As we celebrate Easter, we are reminded of the power of hope, renewal, and new beginnings. It is a season that calls us to reflect, to show kindness, and to embrace the spirit of love and sacrifice.

At AWLA Nigeria, Easter strengthens our commitment to standing for what is right, protecting the dignity of women and children, promoting justice, and creating a society where everyone can feel safe and valued.

In this season of renewal, may our hearts be filled with compassion, our actions guided by purpose, and our communities strengthened by unity and care for one another.

May this Easter bring peace to your homes, joy to your hearts, and renewed hope for a brighter and more just future.

๐ŸŒท Happy Easter from all of us at AWLA Nigeria โœจ

April is here, bringing with it a gentle reminder that new beginnings are always possible. A chance to start fresh, to keep going, and to hold on to hope.

At AWLA Nigeria, we step into this new month with warm hearts and a renewed commitment to protecting and promoting the rights and welfare of women and children. Every day is an opportunity to make a difference, to stand for justice, and to show care where it matters most.

As the days unfold, may we continue to support one another, speak up when it matters, and create spaces where everyone feels safe, valued, and heard.

May this month bring you peace, strength, and meaningful progress in all you do.

As Ramadan comes to a close, Eid brings with it a beautiful sense of relief, joy, and gratitude. It is a time to gather with loved ones, share meals, and celebrate the strength it took to complete the journey.

At AWLA Nigeria, this season reminds us of something simple but powerful, to care for one another. To show kindness. To look out for those who may need support, especially women and children whose safety and dignity must always come first.

As you celebrate, stay close to people you trust, choose safe spaces, and look out for one another. Let this be a season where love is not just felt, but also shown through protection, respect, and compassion.

May your homes be filled with peace, your hearts with joy, and your lives with continued blessings.

๐ŸŒ™ Eid Mubarak to you and your loved ones. ๐Ÿ’›

When we protect rights, we empower those whose voices need to be heard.
When we promote justice, we build fairness and trust in our communities.
When we take action, we create real and lasting change for women and girls across Nigeria.

Giving is not only about resources. It is about time, mentorship, protection, and the courage to stand up for what is right. When we give support to women and children, we gain stronger communities, healthier families, and a more equitable future.

At AWLA Nigeria, we believe that progress happens when advocacy meets action. Through legal support, community engagement, and persistent advocacy, we remain committed to protecting the rights and welfare of women and children and ensuring that justice is not just an ideal but a lived experience.

๐Ÿ’ชโค๏ธ Together, let us continue to stand for Rights. Justice. Action.

March is here, and with it comes a beautiful reminder of the strength, courage, and impact of women everywhere.

As we enter this new month, we look forward to celebrating International Womenโ€™s Day on March 8. It is more than a date on the calendar. It is a moment to reflect, to appreciate how far women have come, and to recommit ourselves to building a society where every woman and girl can live, thrive, and lead without fear.

At AWLA Nigeria, our heart and work remain focused on protecting and promoting the rights and welfare of women and children. Every conversation, every outreach, every act of advocacy is driven by the belief that equality is not optional. It is necessary.

This March, let us show up for one another. Let us speak up where silence has lingered. Let us continue to choose justice, compassion, and courage.

May this month bring renewed strength, deeper purpose, and meaningful progress for us all.

Happy New Month from all of us at AWLA Nigeria ๐ŸŒทโœจ

AWLA RIVERS marked the International Day for Zero Tolerance of FGM 2026 with the theme Towards 2030: No End To FGM Without Sustained Commitment and Investment at Abua/ Odual Local Government Area of Rivers State which was held at the Abua/Odual LGA Secretariat on 4th February, 2026.

The women came from different Communities from the LGA and were sensitized about the legal implications of FGM( Female Ge***al Mutilation).
We also and the Medical Women Association of Nigeria (MWAN) with us and spoke to the women concerning their health generally and the health implications of FGM.

In attendance also were the staff of Abua/Odual General Hospital and the representatives of the Local Government Chairman.

The women expressed their gratitude and also shared their challenges. We had survivors share their experience and those who broke the jinx and refused to be circumcised.

This followed with our media sensitization/advocacy at different radio stations such as wave FM, Nigeria Info, Super FM amongst others on 6th and 9th day of February, 2026.

The AWLA Rivers Coordinator, Dr. Omowumi Komolafe speaking on Nigeria Info and Super FM emphasized that as Change bearers we must challenge the status quo and rise beyond the talks to see that we sustain commitment to totally eradicate and abolish FGM come 2030.

Today, as we celebrate love, let us remember that true love is safe, patient, and respectful.

At AWLA Nigeria, we believe love should never harm, silence, pressure, or intimidate. Love protects. Love listens. Love respects boundaries. Love values dignity.

As you celebrate today, we encourage women and girls to be mindful of their safety. Spend time in secure places. Be with people you trust. Share your plans with someone close to you. If something feels wrong, speak up and seek help. Your safety always comes first.

Let us choose relationships built on consent, equality, and mutual respect. Let us show love in ways that uplift and empower.

Today, AWLA Nigeria joins the global community to raise our voices against Female Ge***al Mutilation under the theme:
โ€œNo Time for Global Inaction, Unite, Fund, and Act to End Female Ge***al Mutilation.โ€

FGM is not just a harmful practice, it is a violation of the dignity, health, and fundamental rights of girls and women. Behind every statistic is a child whose body was altered without consent, a woman living with lifelong physical and emotional pain, and a future cut short by silence and tradition.

At AWLA Nigeria, we believe that there is truly no time left for excuses or inaction. Ending FGM requires unity across communities, adequate funding for education and survivor support, and decisive action through laws, enforcement, and cultural change.

We stand with survivors. We stand with girls at risk. And we call on families, leaders, institutions, and governments to choose protection over harm, courage over silence, and action over delay.

Together, we can end FGM, not someday, but NOW!

๐Ÿ’— Happy New Month, Welcome to February ๐Ÿ’—

Welcome to February, the month of love, kindness, and compassion.
At AWLA Nigeria, we are reminded that true love is found in justice, care, and protection for women and children.

In this new month, let us give and exude love that is safe, respectful, and empowering. Love should never harm, silence, or diminish anyone. It should uplift, protect, and inspire hope.

This month, AWLA Nigeria reaffirms its commitment to promoting the rights and welfare of women and children, advocating against violence, and building a society where love is expressed through fairness, dignity, and equality.

May February fill our hearts with empathy, strengthen our resolve to stand for justice, and remind us that love, when guided by the law and humanity, can truly change lives.

๐Ÿ’— Happy New Month from all of us at AWLA Nigeria ๐Ÿ’—

Warm Regards,
