President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has recently signed into law the Affirmative Action Gender Equity Bill 2024, following its passage by Parliament in July.
This groundbreaking legislation is designed to address the longstanding social, cultural, economic, and political disparities between genders in our country.
These imbalances have been perpetuated by historical discrimination against women and the entrenched patriarchal systems and norms that continue to shape our society.
The Affirmative Action Gender Equity Bill 2024 is a crucial step towards promoting gender equality in both the public and private sectors.
By implementing measures to level the playing field for women, this law will help create a more inclusive and equitable society for all.
The Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Dakoa Newman, shared this significant news in a post on X on Thursday.
“Update: President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo @NAkufoAddo has assented to the Affirmative Action (Gender Equity) Act, 2024. Next Step: Implementation,” she stated.
