Igbo women in Liverpool started meeting in 1980 with only nine members and was called “Liverpool Owerri Women Association”. In 1985, the association changed its name to “Igbo Women Association Liverpool”. At the beginning, the organisation hosted meetings every 2nd Sunday of the month, until in the 1990’s, when it was changed to every 3rd Sunday of the month. More recently this was changed to the last Sunday of the month which aligns with ICALs monthly general meetings. Currently the association has over forty members in total and is involved in several activities.
