Former Member of Parliament Hawa Koomson has likened the growing intimidation of women in Ghana to the "culture of silence" experienced during the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC) era. She urged President John Dramani Mahama to intervene in securing the release of women who have been arrested, detained or remanded over their statements.
Koomson made this call during a demonstration by women, dubbed "Women Voice Matter," in Accra, where they called for action against the intimidation of women and demanded the release of Salomey Baffoe. The protest, which included brass band music and chanting, addressed the lack of progress on promises made to women by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), such as the Women's Bank, job creation and a three-shift job system.
