\u201cI am equally committed to ensuring access to a minimum of secondary education to every girl in Ghana, a policy that has already begun to work.\u00a0I am equally committed to mobilising support towards ending child marriage in Ghana and on the whole of the African continent.\u00a0Together we can achieve gender equality, empower women and also achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals and one day, we are going to have the first female President of Ghana<\/em>\u201d, the President said<\/p>\n
