The Ghana Women Forum is a non-governmental organization committed to amplifying women's contributions and empowering them to reach greater heights.
The NGO is more than just a platform but is also a space where women can come together to share experiences, exchange ideas, and inspire one another.
According to Professor Alabi, women are not just beneficiaries of development, but agents of change, innovators, and leaders in their own right.
She acknowledged that in Ghana, like many parts of the world, women still face barriers to full participation in social, economic, and political spheres.
However, Ghanaian women have shown resilience, determination, and unparalleled strength in breaking down barriers and shattering stereotypes.
The President of the NGO, Adeline Baidoo, said the organization's primary goal is to create an environment for training and mentorship of young women by experienced and accomplished women.
The NGO aims to empower women to reach their full potential and contribute to positive change in our society.
