Parliament is meant to be the highest institution of democratic representation in Ghana, at the forefront of the quest to uphold justice, equality, and national progress.
However, recent incidents raise concerns about whether Ghana's Parliament is truly an inclusive and safe space, especially for women.
At a time when the Affirmative action Bill has been passed, the increasing reports of hostility, intimidation, and inappropriate behavior toward female parliamentarians highlight a deeper issue, one that threatens to discourage women from participating fully in governance.
Over the years, Parliament has witnessed multiple instances of gender-based verbal and physical misconduct.
