President John Evans Atta Mills has congratulated women and stressed the need for them to be given better recognition. International Women\u2019s Day, which is observed annually on March 8 to recognize women\u2019s contributions to society.<\/p>\n

Eulogizing Ghanaian women on their day, President Mills declared that women are \u201cthe backbone of our society we have known all along, socially, economically and all aspects of our lives, women have played very important roles.\u201d<\/p>\n

He unveiled the nation\u2019s love for women in the country: \u201cOur mothers, our wives, our sisters, our aunts and our nieces we love you, may God bless you.\u201d He also remarked that \u201cWe are in this world because of our women. They have very special qualities, they are very caring, they are very hardworking, they make all kinds of sacrifices for us. So we join them today in celebrating this special day and wish them many, many happy returns of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a related development, the Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC) has commended the government of Ghana for enacting a number of legislations and ratifying various international conventions and treaties that seek to promote the rights of women and children.<\/p>\n

It said inasmuch as the government has demonstrated \u201ca strong commitment to gender equality and women\u2019s empowerment\u201d, there is the need for stakeholders in education to \u201censure girls are able to enjoy their rights to education and participation in a violence-free school environment in Ghana\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cGNECC calls on government for an affirmative action to address the issue of low participation of women in decision making that results in discrimination against women at all levels right down to girls in schools. GNECC believes this can be resolved by giving 30% quota to women on all decision making boards.\u201d This year\u2019s celebration also marks 100 years of women\u2019s struggle for equal rights, equal status and emancipation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
