The Vice President, Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, says government's commitment to supporting women is "not just in words, but in action." "A clear demonstration of this is the provision of free sanitary pads for girls in primary and senior high schools, as cap­tured in the recently read 2025 Budget. "This initiative ensures that young girls can stay in school without barriers to their education, reinforcing our belief that em­powering women starts with empowering the girls," she explained.

Vice President Opoku-Agyemang said this at the commemoration of the 2025 In­ternational Women's Day at the Presidency in Accra on Friday.

On the theme: "Accelerating action for a more equitable workplace," it brought together women from diverse societies of the country to observe the day with the rest of the world.
