As we mark the 80th anniversary of the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA), we take pride in celebrating a remarkable journey of advocacy, empowerment, and transformation. Over the past eight decades, FIDA has been at the forefront of championing women’s rights worldwide, breaking barriers, and making significant strides in the legal field.

FIDA’s global impact is a testament to the dedication of countless women lawyers who have not only fought for their rights but have also achieved groundbreaking victories. Through relentless advocacy, they have dismantled barriers and paved the way for a more equitable legal landscape.

One of FIDA’s most notable accomplishments is its consultative status with UN Women, which underscores the organization’s pivotal role in shaping global policy and promoting gender equality. FIDA’s participation in the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) events each year provides a platform to address critical issues, share insights, and influence international agendas on women’s rights.

As we approach this milestone, we are excited to celebrate this special occasion at the FIDACON24 World Convention, scheduled to take place from November 4 to 8, 2024, in the vibrant city of Santiago de Cali. The convention will be held at the Hotel Dann Carlton and will feature a comprehensive academic program alongside a spectacular cultural agenda.
We look forward to celebrating with you and continuing our mission to advance the rights of women and girls, ensuring a sustainable and just planet for future generations. Your participation is vital as we build on our legacy and embrace the future.

See you at FIDACON24!
Cordially,

CAROLINA RÍOS VILLOTA
International President
