On this year’s International Women’s Day, President John Dramani Mahama has called for empowering and uplifting women in every sphere of life.
The President in a statement said this year’s theme, #AccelerateAction, calls for urgent measures to ensure that they achieve gender equality.
He said Ghana had made some significant strides, particularly in electing its first female Vice President.
“Let’s build on this momentum. We must all prioritise empowering and uplifting women in every sphere from education and business to politics and leadership,” President Mahama said.
“Let’s work together to create a Ghana where every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential.”
International Women’s Day is celebrated annually on March 8, as a focal point in the women’s rights movement.
The Day gives focus to issues such as gender equality, reproductive rights, and violence and abuse against women
