Women in Ghana continue to face major challenges in politi­cal participation despite election progress made so far, the national consultative forum held in Accra has revealed.

The forum organised by NETRIGHT in partnership with STAR-Ghana Foundation was to review the 2024 elections and push for gender-responsive governance and inclusive democracy.

It brought together stakeholders from the political parties, civil soci­ety groups, youth organisations, the media, and development partners.

The Programme Manager at NETRIGHT, Ms Cynthia Sunu, noted that while Ghana has a strong reputation for holding peaceful elections, the reality of women's representation in gover­nance remains worrying.
