Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, a leading presidential hopeful in Ghana, has outlined an ambitious plan to empower women and girls, prioritizing their social welfare, health and economic inclusion. Central to his vision is improving maternal and child health through robust programs, enhanced maternity services and breastfeeding facilities in public spaces.
To achieve this, Dr. Bawumia advocates for policies promoting gender parity, particularly the implementation of the Affirmative Action Act. This legislation aims to ensure equitable representation of women in education, government and the workplace.
Key Initiatives:
- Maternal Health Programs: -Dr. Bawumia proposes comprehensive maternal health initiatives to improve child survival rates and support mothers, fostering healthier family environments.
- Female Role Models:- He emphasizes incorporating female role models into educational content to inspire future generations of girls, empowering them to pursue their dreams without societal constraints.
- Women in Diplomacy: – A flagship program supporting Ghanaian women in international leadership roles, boosting their visibility and influence in global forums.
- Economic Inclusion: – Initiatives focusing on digital safety and economic empowerment to ensure women contribute meaningfully to Ghana’s development.
Dr. Bawumia’s vision embodies comprehensive empowerment, bridging gaps in economic inclusion, digital safety, maternal health and diplomatic leadership. By nurturing Ghanaian women, he envisions a future where they break barriers, inspire generations and shape international discourse.
