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?

I believe Ghana will have a woman president long before its Diamond Jubilee in 2032. If we can get all women voters to vote for a woman candidate, the job will be half done. After all, women constitute over 51% of the population and most likely will constitute at least half the voting population. As far as party and policies are concerned, the Women's Manifesto for Ghana gives all women candidates a platform to convince women voters that they can pursue policies that will better the lot of Ghanaian women if given the opportunity.
