Who we are
LEAGUE OF ACHINA WOMEN PROFESSIONALS (LAW-P) is a non-profit organization of like-minded achina women professionals that aims to provide a quality lead strategy and intervention to impact on all facets of womanhood, end all forms of violence against women and children, promote gender equality, women's empowerment, and lower maternal and infant mortality in achina.
Membership is drawn from achina daughters and wives (daughters married outside achina are eligible and mature singles) resident in nigeria or in diaspora who have met the stipulated conditions defined in the constitution and bye laws. Admission is for women who have a minimum of first degree or HND and have a career or are business owners. Such women must have defended their classifications in their careers or businesses.
In life, it is important to pause and take a long hard look at what we have done up till now. Doing this puts things in perspective and helps in encouraging us to move higher. We sat and deliberated a lot on the situations in achina and how to help our indigenes have a better-quality life and reduce crimes and untimely deaths in our community. With the help of experts within our members, we developed certain objectives among which are
- To positively touch the lives of all achina indigenes in terms of sustainable social and economic developments
- To be good mentors and role models to our children
- To carry out advocacy on women matters at all levels of government in achina.
- To support those in authority to develop the right policies and programs that are geared towards developing the potentials of women and girls and other young people.
- To encourage our women to vie for any political post.
- To ensure that the voices of women are heard in the affairs of the Town, Local Government, State, Federal and in diaspora.
- To empower our women economically, politically and socially.
