What is August meeting all about?
August meeting is popular and important in many South Eastern communities.
A research article written by A. Odoemene and published in the Journal of History and Diplomatic Studies says it has evolved into helping to manage conflict in rural communities.
It says:
“The month of August every year witnesses a massive homecoming from different towns and cities across the world of “Igbo women” groups to their matrimonial rural hometowns, where they unite with their rural-based colleagues for what is now popularly known as the “August Meeting.” These “mothers’ congresses,” as they truly are, were originally often geared towards self-help rural community development, but have in recent times delved into conflict management, peace-building and human development in rural societies.”
