Security agencies to arrest perpetrators of violence

Tema (Greater Accra) 19 Feb. ’99

Mr Daniel Ohene Agyekum, Greater Accra Regional Minister, today said the Regional Security Council and the security agencies are on the alert to arrest and prosecute perpetrators of violence against women. Women can no longer be subjected to violence by men, he said, as it (violence) threatens their progress. Mr Ohene Agyekum said this at a three-day regional conference of the 31st December Women’s Movement, under the theme, ”Economic Empowerment for Better Life”.

The Regional Minister urged women not to hesitate to take up responsible positions, for the dignity of Ghanaian women has been lifted through the quality leadership that Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, president of the movement, has provided. “The time that women were left behind is past, now their role is being recognised both in public and private lives”, he added. Mr Ohene Agyekum urged the movement to pursue its objectives diligently to enable women to contribute effectively as partners in development. “District Chief Executives must support women in various vocations with their share of the common fund allocation for poverty alleviation.
