At the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women in Beijing, President John Dramani Mahama called for renewed global commitment to gender equality, urging leaders to move beyond rhetoric and take bold, transformative action.
He highlighted Ghana’s significant strides under his leadership, including the election of its first female Vice President, strengthened legal frameworks, and social interventions such as school feeding, free sanitary pads, and a forthcoming Women’s Development Bank.
Mahama warned of global instability threatening the progress made since the 1995 Beijing Declaration and called on African leaders, in particular, to safeguard gains for women and girls.
He stressed that gender equality is not only a matter of justice but a key driver of national and global development.
