Ghana’s Vice President has reaffirmed the government’s dedication to advancing education, health, and economic empowerment for women and girls, emphasizing the need to dismantle barriers that hinder girls’ full participation in society. Speaking at a national event, she addressed persistent challenges such as menstrual hygiene insecurity, which causes one in four rural girls to miss school during their periods. The initiative includes partnerships with community organizations and faith-based groups to provide sanitary supplies and mentorship opportunities. Her remarks reflect a broader governmental effort to ensure that girls’ education and empowerment remain central to Ghana’s national development strategy.
