Efya & Sherifa Gunu for INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATIONS

The partners of Ebony Production & NISA in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Children’s affairs urge Ghana to celebrate her women achievers as part of the INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY CELEBRATIONS. We believe this annual festival could provide a broad platform for the celebration of women achievers in Ghana whilst inspiring younger generations to aspire to greater heights.

Thus, we propose the WOMEN’S DAY FESTIVAL which would be held from 7^th to 8^th of March every year beginning from 2012 with the following objectives:

Identify and honour about five individuals for making significant contribution towards women and national development as a whole; promote women as indispensable partners in the national development process; to inspire younger generations of women to strive to greater heights; and, to engage women opinion leaders in discussing issues which affect women and children.

The event would be a two-day festival where speakers including awardees would talk on pertinent issues and end with an awards dinner to honour the deserving women who have made or are making extraordinary impact towards society’s development.

Today, it is obvious the most prudent path to take is to inspire them to continue their good works as we encourage younger generations to follow suit. This is the main reason, Ebony Production deems it necessary to give honoree awards to women who have made or are making exceptional impact in various fields of endeavour as part of an entertaining and inspiration packed annual event.
