Welcome to AWLA
[African Women Lawyers Association] an Ngo with
an objective to raise the status of women in Africa and creation of the
awareness on child rights.
AWLA was established in 1998 at a conference of African women meeting
in Accra. At this historic meeting the delegates from over twenty African
countries advocated for a regional meeting for women because FIDA [Federation
of Women Lawyers] were in only four countries.
Upon this a decision was taken on the formation of AWLA. with the first
meeting to be held in Nairobi -Kenya.
The meeting in Nairobi appointed the Executive Board for the organization
which was held by various countries in the sub- region. Ghana was selected
as the country to hold the Chairperson's position.in the person of Mrs
Betty Mould-Iddrisu.
Member countries are to choose their executive and adopt their own constitutions.
Individual and corporate membership is allowed at different membership dues which is fixed by member c©ountries.
