CATHOLIC WOMEN AND REBRANDING PROJECT IN ARCHDIOCESE OF ONITSHA, ANAMBRA STATE, NIGERIA

Résumé

Women are already empowered by God with the grace, wisdom, zeal and other spiritual instruments or weapons ab initio. They are among the creatures born into the world representing something new, unique, peculiar and distinct. Tradition over the centuries laid foundations which past generations have based the roles and vocation of women in Igboland in particular and Nigeria in general. The cumulative force of these cultural attitudes, behaviour, norms and values about women has made women seen rather than heard. This thinking seems to cut across religion, economy, politics and other spheres of social structure of our society. In the rebranding project of Nigeria, a lot is witnessed in the transformation process of the country through the enormous achievements of the Catholic women in Nigeria. In this study, effort is made to outline the numerous contributions of women, especially the Catholic Women of Onitsha Archdiocese in the rebranding project.
