STAND OUT ACTIVITIES SINCE INCEPTION:
FIDA Imo from the time of its inauguration has embarked upon numerous activities. As the saying “nemo dat quod non habet” goes, we as female lawyers, decided to give what we have in line with the objectives of FIDA International and that is, free legal services to indigent women. Through this, many widows and victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse benefitted. FIDA Imo have also assisted widows to recover seized property of their deceased husband from in laws and as well women in troubled marriages were supported to mend their relationships or get out of abusive situations.
Other activities include, free legal clinic which is rotated amongst members, public medical outreach, visitation to prisons, observation of standout international activities such as International Women’s Day, International day of African Child as well as observation of Imo FIDA Week.
FIDA Imo State has continuously grown from strength to strength. By the grace of God, FIDA Imo through member’s effort and that of some philanthropists in the society is currently building their office complex at MCC Road, Owerri which is nearing completion.
On the 25th of September 2019, FIDA Imo State branch Secretariat building was commissioned by His Excellency the Governor of Imo State RT. HON. EMEKA IHEDIOHA .
