The Ghana International Model of UN on Saturday organized its maiden conference named “The Afia Oware Women Summit” which was held at the Great Hall of the University of Ghana.
The Afia Oware Women Summit which is a module under the Ghana International Model of UN Conference, is the first of its kind established in the country.
The summit was organized for women to interact and build a network to ensure their growth in all aspects of lives.
At the maiden edition, Gifty Afia Oware-Aboagye, the Deputy Executive Director of Ghana National Service Scheme, whose has been named after a module, gave the keynote speech outlining the serialized events expected to take place under the module to enhance the capabilities of women.
Ms.Oware-Aboagye used the opportunity to launch the Relationship Hub, an institution expected to function under the processes of charting a path in ensuring that, young women are given the chance to interact and have personal relationships with their mentors.
She admonished the participants at the summit to be steadfast in the cause to change and lead the narrative on women empowerment, in that, the need for women to be advocates, but their advocacy must reflect in the lives of those it affects.
She promised to lead the charge in her own way, saying that was the reason she felt extremely honoured to be the face for the Summit.
She ended by imploring on the participants to expect series of events that will be pushed through the media and virtual platforms towards the Gender Agenda and the Relationship-Hub project “2019 will be full of activities towards the success and growth of women”, she assured.
Ms. Oware-Aboagye was one time the first female Secretary General of Ghana International Model of UN in 2010.
