(Brong-Ahafo Region) has advised women to involve themselves in the
upcoming district assembly elections.
She said the failure of women involvement in decision making hinders
the development of the nation.
Ms. Christina Amarchey disclosed this at a day forum for women who
intend to contest the impending district assembly elections in the
Brong Ahafo region.
The regional women forum was under the theme: “Women participation in
decision making is a right.”
According to Ms. Amarchey, Self-belief, Hope, Hard work and
Persistence are key to success in every aspect of life.
She further advised women to master good communication skills in order
to progress in their respective fields.
Deputy Brong Ahafo Regional Director of National Commission on Civic
Education (NCCE), Mr. Michael Amponsah, said participation in decision
making is not a privilege but rather a right.
He said what is needed is collective decision but not individual differences.
“The number of women in decision making accounts for good practice of
democracy, and also gender discrimination is against the laws of the
country.”
Queen Mother of Sunyani, Nana Yaa Nyamaa entreated women to be focus,
humble, hard working and learn from those who are ahead of them.
She advised them not to be enemies of themselves.
News Hunter Magazine has gathered that the number of women in the
Parliament of Ghana accounts for only 10.5%.
