Ms. Alhassan said women should learn to overcome challenges in the Assemblies and work towards breaking the male dominance both at District Assemblies levels and at home. She said when women Assemblypersons were able to initiate structures in the District Assemblies it would help facilitate decisions that concern women and children to promote national cohesion for development.
