Dr Oluedo who is also an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Expert, frowned at the manner African Women are subjected to Sexism, Racism and Politico-Economic Inequalities. Speaking on the Theme of this year’s Celebration: “Women in Justice, women for justice”, Dr Oluedo called on the International Association of Women Judges to amend the Theme of their 17th IAWJ Biennial Conference in Cape Town, South Africa from April 9-12, 2025, to read: “Resilience: Women in Leadership to End Gender-Based Violence, Femicide and Corruption in the Judiciary,”
The International Day of Women Judges is observed on March 10 every year to recognize the contributions of women in the judiciary. The participation of women in judicial systems is crucial for ensuring fairness, representation, and equality in court rulings. By their presence, women judges enhance the legitimacy of judicial institutions, sending a strong message of inclusivity and justice. This special day acknowledges the vital role played by female judges worldwide in upholding the principles of justice, democracy, and human rights. It also aims to inspire future generations of women to pursue careers in law and the judiciary. The participation of women in the judiciary is essential in ensuring diverse perspectives in decision-making processes. For centuries, the legal profession has been male-dominated, with limited opportunities for women. However, with time, female judges have broken barriers and established themselves as leaders in law and justice.
By celebrating this occasion, governments and institutions around the world reaffirm their commitment to:
Promoting gender equality in judicial institutions,
Encouraging women’s participation in leadership and decision-making roles,
Ensuring fair and unbiased legal proceedings by incorporating diverse viewpoints, and
Developing policies that foster women’s empowerment in the legal profession. Women’s representation in the judiciary is key to ensuring that courts represent their citizens, address their concerns and hand down sound and corrupt free judgments. By their mere presence, women judges enhance the legitimacy of courts, sending a powerful signal that they are open and accessible to those who seek justice.
