On March 15, the Camfed Ghana Association (CAMA) organized a community awareness event focused on empowering women and promoting girls' education in Yong Dakpemyili, a neighborhood near Tamale.
This was a key component of this year's International Women's Day festivities.
Mr. Inusah Iddrisu, who serves as the Principal Investigator for the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice, addressed those present at the event and encouraged women to take up significant positions to foster community growth.
He called upon community members to steer clear of all forms of gender stereotypes, particularly those targeting women and girls, and encouraged traditional and religious leaders to advocate for the education of the girl child as a means to enhance their well-being.
Mr. Sumaila Alhassan, who leads the Parents Support Group, urged mothers and fathers not to overload their daughters with housework once they came home from school.
Miss Ernestina Brenya, the Chairperson of CAMFED Association in Tamale, emphasized CAMA's contribution to advancing women's growth and girl's education.
She praised women for their efforts in enhancing community development and urged them to keep up their role as a supporting network in advancing girls' education.
