ADDIS ABAB -Women judges preside over Federal Supreme Court to pass final verdict on cases relating to child as part of the marking of March 8, disclosed the Federal Supreme Court.
Supreme Court Public Relations Director Solomon Ejigu told Addis Zemen that nobody could be more close to children than women could. Thus, the court has picked five long-serving and experienced women judges to pass judgment on cases.
According to Solomon over 80 higher and first instance court judges and 80 students of law drawn from higher learning institutions will be attending the special proceeding.
Higher officials and other women participants will also attend. This will be a lesson for young women and serve as a model for women empowerment.
Solomon noted that the decision to select women to preside over the matter came in an effort to encourage women participation in every sector. “There is nothing new with the case but the message is clear which is to embolden participation.”
