Ghanaian’s Ambassador to Italy, Molly Anim-Addo, has called for more participation of women in politics to enable them to forcefully project their concerns. Ambassador Anim-Addo, a former chairperson of the erstwhile National Council on Women and Development (NCWD), said “countries which are top on the Human Development Index are those which have given premium to issues concerning women”. With women making up more than 50 per cent of the population, the low rate of women in politics today was unacceptable, the Ambassador stated, adding it was, imperative that women needed to be empowered so as to help accelerate development. Ambassador Anim-Addo has concurrent accreditation to the Republics of Croatia, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece.
