The United Nations Resident Representative to Ghana, Charles Abani, has praised Ghana for its implementation of the '16 Days of Activism against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.' Speaking at the launch of the 2024 '16 Days of Activism against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence' in Accra, on Monday, November 25, 2024, the UN representative was particularly impressed by the involvement of the Ghana Public Transport Network in the implementation of the initiative.
He indicated that the involvement of the transport sector in the initiative would help ensure that the activism against sexual and gender-based violence reaches every home in the country. "This innovative and exciting social drive for working with the transport sector, to me, is groundbreaking and inspiring, and I really congratulate you, UNFPA, and the Road Transport Workers Union for this innovative partnership. "...
The 16 Route 16 Stations partnership between UNFPA and GPRTU is a powerful example of this innovation.
It will reach millions of Ghanaians, if not every Ghanaian, through these humble motor parks that we have across the country, and the vehicles crisscrossing this great country will be able to share this message widely.
