She hailed Ghana\u2019s first female Vice President, Prof. Nana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, as a symbol of progress and inspiration, encouraging young women to follow in her pioneering footsteps.<\/p>\n

The Minister urged stakeholders to envision a Ghana where women and men lead together, institutions mirror the country\u2019s diversity, and women enjoy equal access to land, technology, and markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving from margin to centre is not a favour to women. It is justice. It is not symbolic. It is a strategy. For no nation can prosper if half of it falls,\u201d she declared.<\/p>\n

Organised by The Academic Woman Foundation, the conference brought together female academics, policymakers, and gender equality advocates under the theme: \u201cEmpowerment, Resilience, and Innovation.<\/em><\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

Discussions centered on creating long-term strategies to boost women\u2019s leadership, educational access, and economic empowerment.<\/p>\n

Deputy Presidential Spokesperson, Shamima Muslim, challenged women to actively embrace leadership roles, warning that rejecting such opportunities could stall the broader movement for gender equity.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must achieve at least 30 percent female representation across all sectors,not just in politics, but in every aspect of Ghanaian life. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to nurture more women leaders and managers. Political parties must embrace affirmative action, remove financial barriers to participation, and create a more enabling environment for women,\u201d she stressed.<\/p>\n

Founder of The Academic Woman Foundation, Dr. Anatu Mahama, encouraged young women to pursue excellence boldly, armed with courage, purpose, and vision.<\/p>\n

\u201cEducation is not just a key, it is a master key. Women who learn, lead, and lift others create a ripple effect of change that transforms generations,\u201d she said<\/p>\n

Participants also engaged in panel sessions, breakout workshops, and \u201cTED-style Talks\u201d addressing leadership development, entrepreneurship, gender equity, innovation, and the future role of technology in Ghana.<\/p>\n
