All over the world, we are experiencing strong and concerted activism towards gender parity. Today is an opportunity for us to add our voices to the discussions to get us closer to our goal.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I certainly want to have my grandchildren to live in a Ghana where we have gender parity so this year\u2019s theme speaks to something deep within me. For me, it means we move despite the obstacles. That we push forward in spite of the resistance. It means that we do not allow anything to stop us. Today, discussions will focus on two important and related issues. Girls\u2019 education and the elimination of child marriages. Why the focus on these two issues? Because education is the catalyst for the development of the individual and the nation.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The First Lady makes strides with girlchild education.
