Anambra first lady re-emphasized the importance of healthy living among women as the engine house to healthy family and asked women to pay attention to what they eat.

For her part, the state Commissioner for Women and Children Affairs, Mrs. Ify Obinabo, recounted the various breakthroughs the present administration has recorded in the effort to end domestic maltreatment and abuse and explained that these success and justice delivered for victims are the reason more people are confident to speak up and speak out when they bear witness or become victim of such incidents.

Igboka invited Mrs Soludo to the summit being organized by the group during this year’s International Women’s Day celebration which she said will be their first major step to addressing the challenges facing women in the society.
