President John Dramani Mahama underscored the need for Ghanaians to invest more in empowering women.
This, he argued, would expand opportunities and resources for women and translate into broader national development.
President Mahama said this on Facebook on Sunday, March 8, 2026.
His post was in commemoration to mark International Women’s Day 2026.
He noted that the country stands to benefit significantly when women are given the support needed to thrive.
President Mahama indicated, and added, that empowering women has repeatedly proved to have far-reaching effects beyond individual success, often transforming entire families and communities.
“When we give opportunities, resources, and unwavering support to our women, we gain as a country. We have seen time and again that when women are empowered, entire families and communities are transformed,” he said.
He further admonished Ghanaians to actively work toward removing barriers that hinder women and girls from reaching their full potential.
President Mahama added that there was the need to create clear pathways that enable them to succeed across all sectors of society.
In his view, building a more inclusive environment would ensure that every Ghanaian woman and girl has the opportunity to develop her talents and contribute meaningfully to national growth.
Referencing the theme for 2026, “Give to Gain”, the President stressed that investing in women is not merely a social responsibility but a strategic national priority.
“As we observe International Women’s Day 2026 under the theme ‘Give to Gain’, let us remember that every investment we make in empowering our mothers, sisters, and daughters multiplies into prosperity for our entire nation,” he added.
