As the world celebrate women for the enormous contribution towards humanity, a member of the Progressive People’s Party has called on the government of Ghana to shift its focus on helping vulnerable women.

Many a time, people link celebrating women in the world to getting them into sensitive positions within government and although Mr. Charles Owusu shares this view, he believes alleviating vulnerable women from hardship must be the primary focus of the celebration.

“In some hinterlands, women find it difficult to come by money for transportation. Some of this people are pregnant and need medical attention but because they don’t have money, they are unable to even see a doctor for care. Government must commit resources to help such women facing this condition”, he said on ATV’s Asem Yi Di Ka show.

He further congratulated successive government for appointing women into various sensitive positions.

“We have a woman appointed as our Chief Justice, we also had a woman become our Speaker of Parliament. Then we had the first one to be appointed as Chairperson of the Electoral Commission and recently, that feat was again achieved as another woman was elevated to be Chief of Staff”, he added.
