In 2023, the Oji River Chapter of UUICI held its first annual conference. The focus was on a critical issue: domestic abuse in global communities and its impact on women’s mental health. We came together to address this challenge, seeking solutions for a safer, healthier future for women worldwide.
In the year 2023, we organized a significant event called the Umuada Orange Day in the United Kingdom. The purpose behind this event was to raise awareness about a critical issue: domestic abuse. Our intention was to shed light on a topic that affects many lives and to stand in solidarity with those who have experienced its impact.
The conference brought together a diverse group of individuals, including experts, activists, survivors, and advocates, all committed to addressing this critical concern. Through thought-provoking discussions, informative workshops, and shared experiences, attendees explored the complex dynamics of domestic abuse and the lasting effects it has on women’s mental well-being.
Diverse women united for impactful change.
Cultural pride shapes our united identity.
Empowerment fueled change and inspiring advocates.
The event showcased collaborative strength, fostering change.
The theme, “Domestic Abuse in Global Communities: Implications of Violence in Women’s Mental Health,” served as a catalyst for meaningful conversations and collaborative efforts. Participants delved into the root causes of domestic abuse, examined its far-reaching consequences, and discussed strategies to combat this pervasive issue.
Throughout the event, the importance of solidarity and support for survivors emerged as a central theme. The Oji River Chapter, in alignment with the broader UUICI mission, affirmed its dedication to empowering Igbo women and advocating for their rights, safety, and mental health.
The conference in Oji River was a testament to the power of communities uniting to confront and address challenges head-on. It underscored the shared commitment of UUICI members to fostering a safer, healthier, and more equitable world for women across the globe.
As we move forward, the lessons learned and connections made at this inaugural conference will continue to shape the work of the Oji River Chapter and the UUICI as a whole. Together, we remain steadfast in our pursuit of empowering women, preserving our cultural heritage, and promoting unity within global communities.
At UUICI, we believe in the power of unity, the strength of culture, and the importance of empowering women. Join us in our mission to uplift Igbo women worldwide and create a better future for generations to come.
