The event also renewed a call to action for private sector lawyers and firms to integrate pro bono work into their culture, strengthening a fairer and more inclusiveย justiceย system.
The 2025 PILP Pro Bono Week & PILnet African Regional Convening in Lagos convened leading voices from law, government, and civil society to advance conversations on institutionalising pro bono practice and expanding access to justice in Nigeria.
On October 11th, we celebrate International Day of the Girl Child.
This year's theme is a powerful call to action: "The girl I am, the change I lead: Girls on the frontlines of crisis."
Itโs time to stop viewing girls as vulnerable and start recognizing them as vital frontline leaders in every global crisisโfrom pandemics to climate change.
PILP is dedicated to ensuring these young leaders have the resources they need to thrive.
The PILP team wishes to use this opportunity to remind everyone to take care of their Mental Health today - World Mental Health Day.
Remember, "Mental Health Care is also Health Care".
PILP is glad to be a partner at this event and will provide support services, as well as hold a stand at the legal clinic. We look forward to meeting any who is in need of #probono aid during this period and answering any questions you may have about out work at the fair.
