Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Affirmative Action Bill Coalition has called on Parliament of Ghana to prioritize the passing of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equality) Bill of Ghana into law.<\/b><\/p>\n

This is contained in a statement issued by the Coalition to mark International Women\u2019s Day on March 8.<\/p>\n

The Bill aims to promote gender equality and empower women by ensuring their equal participation and representation in key decision-making spaces across all sectors of society.<\/p>\n

The Coalition said, \u201cThe Bill when enacted into law is the only guaranteed way to address the proven marginalisation of women in decision-making positions in both the public and private sectors of Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s theme, \u201cInvest in Women: Accelerate Progress,\u201d highlights the importance of empowering and supporting women to achieve gender equality and drive social, economic, and political progress. By investing in women and passing the Affirmative Action (Gender Equality) Bill, we can accelerate progress towards gender equality in Ghana,\u201d the statement noted.<\/p>\n

The Coalition further stated that, \u201cWe recognize the invaluable contributions that women make to our society and economy, and it is essential that we create an enabling environment that supports and guarantees them a seat at the table.<\/p>\n

As we mark International Women\u2019s Day, let us come together to advocate for gender equality in Ghana and support the passage of the Affirmative Action (Gender Equality) Bill. Let us stand in solidarity with women across Ghana and commit to building a more equal and inclusive society for all.\u201d<\/p>\n
