Ghana @50

On March 6, 2007 Ghana celebrated the Golden Jubilee anniversary of its Independence from colonial rule. Neither the Ghana @50 Secretariat nor the President of the Republic acknowledged the important contribution made by women towards the attainment of Ghana's independence or the immense contribution Ghanaian women have made to the socio-economic development of the country since independence. Why do you think the Ghanaian society has often failed to recognize the contribution of women to the country's development? What can be done to redress this injustice? What stories can you share about women's political and socio-economic contribution before, during and after Ghana's independence? And by the way, do you think Ghana will have a woman president before our Diamond Jubilee of Independence in 2032 and why or why not?
