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.
