SHE POWER Summit Reveals How Women Can Be Empowered

The much Anticipated SHE POWER Summit was held at Knustford University on 7th August,2022.

The summit held to give women more insight on their living through empowerment, was organized by SMIVIC Communication limited to motivate and empower women to promote National development.

Due to the company’s exposure to the plight of young women and youth across the country, it highlighted on critical issues people are facing.

According to the Co founder of Smivic Communications limited, Mr Smith Ebenezer, women have made a lot of progress in National Development. Hence,the government should put much effort to enhance Girl Child Education in Ghana.

As a company promoting women empowerment and youth in development they touched on two things:

Youth: “We believe the youth make up 70% of the populace in Ghana. Our leaders must support their small-scale businesses. It’s not easy to build a business and get GHC1.00 as profit.

“If our youth are sacrificing to cultivate the habit of entrepreneurship, there must be finances. Capital emanates for such purposes,” it said.

On women empowerment, Smivic believes the girl child needs to be educated and groomed for the future.

It said government should design a policy purposely to finance women on the street and other educational needs.

“We made emphasis on women on the street. In what ways are our leaders supporting their menial jobs?”

The Executive Committee for SHE Power Event under the auspices of Smivic Event Management acknowledged and appreciated Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyeman who doubles as former running mate of former president John Dramani Mahama and former Minister of Education for honouring the invitation and gracing the event with her presence.
