The Guyana Association of Women Judges (GAWJ) launched its first magazine titled “Justice” last September 11 at the Cara Lodge Hotel. The publication chronicles the history and work of women in Guyana’s judiciary and shares resources for use in the fight for equity and access to justice for all.
“According to its Editor-in-Chief, Justice Nicola Pierre, the magazine is prompted by the need to record the history and work of women in the judiciary, to recognise that the fight for women’s equality, equity, and safety, in all spheres continues,” a press release from GAWJ said.
During her remarks, GAWJ President Justice Priscilla Chandra-Hanif stated that “Justice” is not just a magazine but a platform for reflection, education, and inspiration, the release said. “It will highlight not only the voices of women judges, but also the issues that affect women, children, families, and communities across our nation. It will encourage dialogue, promote mentorship, and showcase the humanity behind the robe,” it quoted her as saying.
