The Network for Women’s Rights in Ghana (NETRIGHT) has revealed that women and girls in developing countries, including Ghana, are facing disproportionate hardships as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
NETRIGHT has consequently embarked on a campaign to raise awareness about the socio-economic impact of COVID-19 on women and girls.
The exercise, being done in partnership with the Window of Hope Foundation (WHF), a Kumasi-based non-governmental organisation (NGO), also assesses the kind of available interventions to contain the spread of the virus.
As part of the campaign, the Regional Focal Person for NETRIGHT and Executive Director of WHF, Mrs Elizabeth Adubofuor, embarked on an outreach programme in four communities in the Atwima Mponua District in the Ashanti Region to educate the people on the impact of the virus on women.
