” The project, funded under Canada’s Women’s Voice and Leadership initiative through Global Affairs Canada and implemented by Plan International Ghana, was aimed at strengthening feminist advocacy and promote inclusive, gender-responsive budgeting.

By Francis Ntow, GNA Accra, Sept 9, GNA – The Network for Women’s Rights in Ghana (NETRIGHT) has appealed to the Government to make Ghana’s tax laws more gender-responsive, progressive, and inclusive as the current tax and trade policies disproportionately affect women.
