He recounted the late former First Lady\u2019s instrumental role in advancing women\u2019s empowerment and social justice in Ghana and across the world. He stated that her pioneering contribution to the 1995 Beijing Conference on Women laid the foundation for key gender equality and legislative reforms in Ghana. \u201cHer work for the gender empowerment movement continues to resonate globally,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
