Ghana Takes a Giant Leap Towards Equality: MoGCSP’s 2024 Annual Summit
The Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection (MoGCSP) recently held its 2024 Annual Summit at Labadi Beach Hotel, shining a spotlight on the groundbreaking Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act, 2024. The summit, themed “Promoting Equality and Inclusive Development Through the Affirmative Action,” aimed to implement the Affirmative Action Act, raise public awareness, integrate marginalized groups into leadership, and foster collaboration for inclusive growth.
According to Dr. Afisah Zakariah, Chief Director of MoGCSP, these efforts align perfectly with the ministry’s mandate to promote gender equality, child development, and integrate vulnerable groups into national development. By addressing these disparities, Ghana takes a significant step towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
The Affirmative Action Act, 2024, is a beacon of hope for a brighter future, where everyone has an equal chance to thrive. Ghana’s commitment to gender equality and inclusive development resonates with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The country’s efforts demonstrate its dedication to leaving no one behind and promoting human rights for all.
Hon. Emmanuel Agyei Anhwere, Member of Parliament for the Atwima Nwanbiagya South Constituency, praised the Affirmative Action Act, 2024, as a groundbreaking legislation designed to promote equity and inclusion across Ghana’s public and private sectors. The summit aimed to address disparities in economic, educational, and social participation, particularly for women, children, and especially girls.
This significant step towards equality and inclusive development is a testament to Ghana’s commitment to creating a fair and just society for all. As the country continues to work towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, this summit serves as a reminder that equality and inclusion are essential for promoting human rights and leaving no one behind.
