The President of the Ghana Bar Association (GBA), Efua Ghartey Esq., has reaffirmed the Association's commitment to partnering with Compassion International Ghana to advocate for child rights and ensure access to justice for every child across the country.
She made the remarks during the 20th Anniversary celebration of Compassion International Ghana, held on July 24, 2025, under the theme "Transforming Lives Through Hope, Dignity, and Opportunity in Jesus' Name." Delivering the keynote address, Efua Ghartey praised the organisation's dedication to child welfare and challenged stakeholders to build on the progress made over the past two decades.
She highlighted the evolving challenges facing Ghanaian youth, including digital disruption, mental health struggles, unemployment, peer pressure, and cyber exploitation. "The next phase of transformation must be innovative, integrating digital literacy, legal awareness, psychosocial support, and career readiness," she said.
She further assured that the GBA's Committee for Women and Minority Rights, chaired by Sheila Minkah-Premo, would actively collaborate with Compassion International Ghana to strengthen corporate governance structures, train board members, and ensure the sustainability of its interventions.
