Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has called for renewed efforts in breaking barriers and fostering equal opportunities for women, stressing that national progress depends on the empowerment of women.
In a message to mark International Women's Day (IWD), she reaffirmed her commitment to advancing gender equality and urged Ghanaians to play their part in creating a society where every woman can reach her full potential. "When women thrive, families, communities, and nations prosper.
Let us accelerate action for our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, and for the future of our great nation," she stated.
Recognising the contributions of women across various fields, the Vice President highlighted the importance of removing obstacles that hinder women's participation in national development. "These ideas mark progress, but we know that the journey towards full equality is far from over," she noted. "We all must do better to support the women of Ghana." She encouraged collective action in fostering an inclusive society where women have the freedom to pursue their dreams and the support to excel. "As we celebrate this day, let us reaffirm our collective commitment to building a Ghana where every woman and girl has the freedom to dream, the power to achieve, and the support to excel," she emphasised.
