Photos: Vice President joins GAAS Awards to celebrate outstanding women leaders

In her reflections at the ceremony, the Vice President highlighted the longstanding role of women in Ghana’s development, noting that women have contributed to the country’s economic and social foundations long before gender equality became a major part of the national conversation.

Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang has attended the inaugural Ghana Academy of Arts and Sciences (GAAS) Women’s Awards, held under the theme, “Breaking Barriers, Building Nations: Celebrating Women in Outstanding Leadership in Ghana.

Long before conversations about gender equality entered our national discourse, women farmed, fished, traded, healed, adjudicated, created, led communities, and contributed to the economic and social foundations on which our country was built,” she said.
