Esther Tawiah has called out persistent stereotypes and systemic challenges that hinder women's progress in Ghana.
The gender advocate tackled a range of issues, including financial autonomy, domestic violence, and climate change, emphasizing the disproportionate pressure placed on women in various aspects of life. "How often do we ask men in politics or leadership how they balance their careers with family life?" she asked in an interview on Starr FM monitored by MyNewsGh. "But for women, it's a constant question.
This reflects the entrenched stereotypes that women face." Tawiah argued that this double standard not only undermines women's achievements but also reinforces the outdated belief that their primary role is tied to family responsibilities.
Tawiah also highlighted the impact of discriminatory financial policies on women's autonomy.
