General News of Sunday, 13 May 2018Source: mynewsgh.comWomen are major contributors to the growth of Ghana's economy - OtikoMadam Otiko Afisa Djaba, Minister of Gender, Children and Social ProtectionThe Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Madam Otiko Afisa Djaba has underscored the significant role played by Ghanaian women in all aspects of the economy. Today, more Ghanaian women are getting out of their homes into paid jobs and are stoically combining their work at home as homemakers with jobs outside the home as income-earners. Indeed, in Ghana, women are found working mostly in the informal sector; from small-scale farming activities, retail business on table tops at markets and street corners to managing micro enterprises. The Ministry salutes the numerous women achievers in the corporate world, women parliamentarians, ministers, women in the informal sector, academia and the security agencies, among others. I wish you a Memorable and Unforgettable Mothers Day.
