Catholic women pledge support for efforts to combat gender-based violence

A delegation of Catholic women has pledged its support for the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection’s efforts to promote gender equality and combat gender-based violence.

The delegation made the commitment when it paid a courtesy call on the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Dr Agnes Naa Momo Lartey, to discuss ways of strengthening collaboration in protecting women, children and vulnerable persons.

They said the coalition would mobilise faith-based and traditional women leaders to champion the rights, safety and well-being of women and girls, particularly in communities where religious and traditional institutions wield significant influence.
