We are pleased to announce that the Lex Initiative for Rights, Advocacy and Development (LIRAD) has been confirmed as an official partner of the Benue Youth Summit 2025, scheduled for 17–18 September 2025.
As part of this collaboration, LIRAD will co-host a session titled:
“Youth, Gender, and Climate Justice: Co-Creating a Sustainable Future for Benue.”
This session will bring together young female lawyers, climate advocates, grassroots women’s leaders, and policymakers to:
• Highlight the gendered impacts of climate change in Benue.
• Champion the role of young female lawyers in shaping climate governance.
• Explore opportunities for equitable access to climate finance.
• Co-create actionable recommendations for inclusion in the Benue Youth Declaration.
For LIRAD, this partnership represents another important step in our mission to advance feminist lawyering and ensure that climate justice in Nigeria is inclusive, gender-responsive, and accountable to the communities most affected.
Stay tuned for updates and insights from the Summit!
