Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Deputy Director of Communications for the NPP, Hajia Rabi Salifu, has emphasized the importance of gender equality and empowerment, particularly within the context of her own experiences as a Muslim woman in a patriarchal society.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking in an interview with Johnnie Hughes on 3FM Sunrise Morning Show on March 8, Hajia Salifu addressed misconceptions surrounding gender roles in Islam.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy religion has actually cleared the segregation of what men do and what women do. Not to say women are being relegated by our religion. But I feel there is a huge distortion that has occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Salifu highlighted the need to challenge traditional narratives that undermine the contributions of women, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and purpose-driven action. Reflecting on her own journey, she shared insights gained from her position as a woman in a leadership role within her community.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven our position, I as a Muslim woman, a northern and culturally patriarchal incline, I would say that I have seen quite a lot around this,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

Salifu emphasized the importance of respectful dialogue and capacity building in effecting positive change, rather than resorting to aggression or confrontation.<\/p>\n

Urging leadership to prioritize gender equality, Salifu commended President Akufo-Addo for his support of women\u2019s rights, describing him as \u201cthe number one gender activist.\u201d She emphasized the need for ongoing discussions and initiatives to empower women at all levels of society.<\/p>\n

Addressing her fellow women, Salifu called for solidarity and support within the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s keep pushing. Let\u2019s keep getting involved, let\u2019s keep building ourselves, let\u2019s keep adding up not just adding up to numbers but making impact,\u201d she urged.<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the importance of unity and mutual support, she encouraged women to celebrate each other\u2019s successes and offer assistance wherever possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cLoving ourselves is ultimate. If a sister is doing something, try to support and if you can\u2019t even afford the support, just pray and wish the person well. That saying that we are our own enemies shouldn\u2019t be the case anymore\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

As International Women\u2019s Day is celebrated worldwide, Salifu\u2019s remarks serve as a poignant reminder of the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the importance of collective action in achieving meaningful change.<\/p>\n
