The Ladies in Parliamentary Service (LiPS) and the Women’s Caucus came together to commemorate International Women’s Day, held at the DF Annan Auditorium in Parliament. The event brought together women groups and gender champions to discuss the crucial need for equal opportunities and compensation for women in society and the workplace.
Speaker Bagbin, the guest of honor, highlighted the remarkable contributions women have made worldwide and emphasized the need for intentional policies to ensure gender equality and increased female participation in legislation and policy. His call to action resonated with the audience, inspiring a sense of determination to drive change.
This celebration was part of a global movement to accelerate action towards gender parity. As Joana Gyan Cudjoe, MP for Amenfi Central, noted at the 2025 Women’s Dialogue, empowering women to participate in governance and leadership is crucial for achieving equality. The event in Parliament served as a testament to Ghana’s commitment to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment.
