IWD 2025:AWLA Calls for Action For Gender Equality and Justice

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Statement on International Women’s Day 2025: “Accelerating Action for Gender Equality and Justice”

As we join the global community to commemorate International Women’s Day, the African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA), Ghana, reaffirms its commitment to accelerating action for gender equality and justice.

This year’s theme, “Accelerating Action,” resonates deeply with our mission to promote and protect the rights of women and girls in Ghana.

 We recognize that despite progress made, women and girls continue to face significant barriers to equality, including discriminatory laws, cultural and social norms, and inadequate access to education, healthcare, and economic   opportunities.

As women lawyers, we are committed to using our skills, expertise, and collective voice to accelerate action for gender equality and justice.
We will continue to:

1. Advocate for policy and legislative reforms that promote gender equality and justice.
2. Provide legal assistance and support to women and girls who are survivors of violence and discrimination.
3. Collaborate with other stakeholders to promote awareness and education on gender equality and justice.
   We call on the government, civil society, and all stakeholders to join us in accelerating action for gender equality and justice.
   Together, we can create a more just and equitable society for all
