"The Women's Advocate", a new newspaper, was on Thursday launched to promote the welfare of women in society.It is also intended to rewrite the history of the Ghanaian woman, highlight the violence that they face and how, despite those challenges, some have risen to influential positions in society.Ms Akua Sena Dansua, Minister for Women and Children's Affairs, who launched the paper in Accra, called on the publishers to educate women on their roles in nation building.She said women had been marginalised for far too long and that the paper should help correct such phenomenon.Ms Dansua urged the publishers not to dedicate the paper to the cause of only urban women but to ensure that issues affecting women in the rural areas were also brought to the fore.She said the paper must be used to engage women at the grassroots in discussions on national issues to enable them to get involved in the national development agenda.Mrs Aku Xornam, Public Relations Officer of the newspaper, said it offered a great opportunity for all women in society because it would educate them on their rights and how to ensure that others did not take undue advantage of them.She said the paper would institute programmes to give women skills to make them self-sufficient.Source: GNA
