Ms. Christina Amarchey, Programme Manager of ActionAid Ghana

(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%.
