Developing Women for Mobilization (DWM), formerly known as the 31st December Women’s Movement, is celebrating 43 years of impactful service dedicated to the empowerment, advancement, and upliftment of women across Ghana.

Marking the milestone on Tuesday, the organisation reflected on its journey from a bold vision to a transformative movement that has consistently championed women’s rights, amplified their voices, and broken barriers in communities nationwide.

“Today, we salute the trailblazers who laid the foundation, the tireless team that has carried the mission forward, and the countless women whose courage and strength fuel our journey,” the organisation said in a statement.

DWM has played a significant role in promoting gender equality and social justice in Ghana since its founding in 1982. Over the decades, it has been instrumental in driving policy change, advancing women’s education and economic empowerment, and fostering civic participation among women.

The 43rd anniversary celebration is also a moment of gratitude and renewed commitment. DWM expressed appreciation to its members, supporters, and partners for their unwavering support.

“To our members, well-wishers, supporters, and partners we say Ayekoo,” the statement read. “We dreamt it, we planned it, and we executed it. The work is far from over, but together, we move forward with purpose and pride.”

As the organisation looks to the future, it reaffirmed its dedication to building a society where all women have equal access to opportunity, dignity, and justice.

“Happy 43rd Anniversary! God bless the women of Ghana. Long live women of Ghana. Long live DWM,” the statement said.
