Attacks on Lordina Mahama, Samira Bawumia reinforce unequal power – Victoria Hamah
Founder of the Progressive Organisation for Women’s Advancement (POWA), Dr Victoria Lakshmi Hamah, has condemned personal attacks, insults and gendered mockery directed at First Lady Lordina Mahama and former Second Lady Samira Bawumia, arguing that such attacks reinforce the unequal power structures limiting women’s collective political influence in Ghana.
The Progressive Organisation for Women’s Advancement (POWA) has called for an end to the gendered attacks and personal insults directed at First Lady Lordina Mahama and former Second Lady Samira Bawumia. POWA argues that these attacks undermine the dignity and political agency of women in public life and risks shifting attention away from structural inequalities that continue to limit women’s participation and influence.
The organization urges women’s rights groups, civil society organizations, and the public to reject the normalization of such attacks and instead promotes solidarity and collective action across political lines to advance women’s collective development.
