We recognised that for women to be really empowered for development, we needed to make them economically active - Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings

It is important for me to open doors for many other women to be there (presidential candidate) at some point or the other. I am making sure that children of this country (Ghana) see women as an absolute part of national development.

It is only through writing that we capture who we are, where we have come from and where we are going and this must be written so generations yet unborn will know who we truly are.

Certainly, we cherish our cultural heritage and the centuries old traditions from which our society derives its identity and resilience. But we also acknowledge that practices that undermine human dignity, retard social progress and bring about unnecessary misery and suffering must not be countenance by a society that appreciates the worth of its people.
