BE BOLD, REPORT CASES OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE - NCCE Akuapem North Municipal Office

The Akuapem North Municipal Office of the Commission, Eastern Region, interacted with students of Methodist Girls SHS - Mamfe ahead of International Women's Day 2024 under the theme "Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress".

The Municipal Director, Ms. Benedicta Duvor at the genesis of her delivery emphasised the respect for human dignity as well as equality and freedom from discrimination irrespective of gender, race, and ethnic orientation as enshrined in Articles 15 and 17 of the 1992 Constitution of Ghana.

In light of this, she encouraged students to be courageous enough to assert their rights and take on leadership positions to help re-engineer society from its current state where women and girls are often kept in the dark.

Ms. Duvor further admonished students to not only focus on formal education but also explore the technical and vocational aspects, where they can learn valuable handy skills to make them better prospects in a fast-growing world.

The Municipal Director ended her delivery on issues of violence against women and girls of which she urged them to be bold enough to report cases of that sort to the right authorities if they ever find themselves or anyone within their space as a victim.

Mr. David K. Adu (ACEO), Mr. Eric K. Ocloo (CFO), and Portia Hlovor (PFO) assisted in the process.
