The Global Gender Gap Report 2024 projects that despite progress, there is still much work to be done to achieve gender parity.

It is thus imperative that governments, organizations, and individuals worked together to accelerate progress and create a more equitable society for all.

Madam Maribel Akuokor Okine, the Western Regional Director of the Department of Gender, told the GNA that while Ghana and Africa had made significant progress in closing the gender gap, persistent challenges remained.

Addressing these challenges, she noted, required collective action, investment, and a commitment to creating a more equitable society.
