President John Dramani Mahama has emphasised the need to prioritise women's empowerment to achieve gender equality in the country.

In a post shared on Facebook to commemorate the International Women's Day (IWD) on March 8, 2025, he pointed out that this year's theme, 'Accelerate Action' should serve as an urgent call on measures to bridge gender disparities.

"This year's theme, 'Accelerate Action, calls for urgent measures to ensure that we achieve gender equality. Ghana has made some significant strides, particularly in electing its first female Vice President. Let's build on this momentum.

"We must all prioritise empowering and uplifting women in every sphere from education and business to politics and leadership. Let's work together to create a Ghana where every woman has the opportunity to reach her full potential,” he stated.

IWD celebrated annually on March 8, honours the achievements of women across all aspects of life, while also advocating for gender equality.

The day marks a call to action, as it provides an important platform to engage with communities, reflect on progress, and commit to positive action.
