Lariba Zuweira Abudu (MP), the Director for Ghana Productive Safety Net Project, Mr. Mawutor Ablo expressed his appreciation to the UNFPA for their support and the stakeholders for taking time off their busy schedules to join such an important meeting.According to him, the quest for gender equality has seen women and girls leading the charge but it is time to expose men and boys to the role they have to play in achieving Gender Equality and Women Empowerment agenda."we cannot leave the men behind, they are indeed the integral part of attaining gender equitable and sustainable development," he added.Mr Ablo emphasized that achieving gender equality calls for transforming unequal power relations between men and women. Thus challenging notions of masculinity and traditional perceptions of manhood.He is of the believe that drafting the National Framework and Toolkit for engaging Men and Boys is a feat to be achieved.The Director therefore called on the stakeholders to add their inputs, comments and suggestions in the bid to draft a concrete framework for engaging men and boys to achieve the set objectives.In a statement read on behalf of the Chief Director of the Ministry, Dr. Afisah Zakariah, the Deputy Director for Department of Gender, Madam Vera Karikari Bediako said the Government of Ghana through the Ministry has made a study progress in mainstreaming gender into all spheres of socio- economic development though gender inequalities persist, hence needs to be addressed.Madam Karikari noted that achieving Gender Equality is recognized as a societal responsibility and should require partnerships between men and women.She urged all to get on board and engage Men and Boys on Gender Equality as well as Women and Girls' Empowerment. The UNFPA Country Representative, Mr Barnabas Yisa congratulated the Ministry and the Department of Gender for bringing together National Institutions and CSOs to deliberate on the major strategies for engaging Men and Boys on Gender Equality."Male engagement improves not only women and girls' health and well-being but also the well-being of men and the society," he stated.He entreated all to increase the momentum in engaging Men, Boys and other relevant groups since Gender Equality cannot be attain without the involvement of all.Present at the meeting were the Representative for the Deputy Minister/ Minister-Designate, Hon.
