The Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has challenged women to work hard towards achieving the equity goal that they have long sought for.

At a meeting with women at the seat of government to mark International Women's Day, she said women must first support each other, mentor younger women and ensure inclusion for a systematic change.

Women and girls make up more than half of the country's population yet access to basic needs and involvement in decision making is low.

Professor  Opoku-Agyemang challenged the women to work hard to ensure equity is achieved. "Let us remember that equity is not about favour, nor is it about division; it is about fairness, opportunity, and ensuring that every woman has the space to lead," she noted.
