Offensive Label Resurfaces
The Nigerian Bar Association Women’s Forum (NBAWF) has condemned the recurring use of the term “conference materials” to describe women lawyers during NBA Annual General Conferences. The phrase, which resurfaced on social media, wrongly suggests that women attend events only for immoral purposes.
NBAWF Stands Against Disrespect
The Forum described the label as “unacceptable, offensive, and unprofessional,” stressing that women in law are not accessories but respected professionals. They contribute meaningfully to legal practice and the growth of the Nigerian Bar.
Women in Law Deserve Respect
NBAWF reminded members that NBA conferences are meant for learning, collaboration, and professional growth — not harmful stereotypes. They urged stakeholders to stop making derogatory remarks that undermine women lawyers.
Protecting Women Lawyers’ Dignity
Reaffirming its commitment, NBAWF said it will continue to protect the dignity of women in law, emphasizing their vital role in advancing justice and strengthening Nigeria’s legal system. To learn more, visit genderpedia.http://genderpedia.ng/shop.
