For the 2025 International Women’s Day, Akorfa Ama Akoto was at Pentecost University for the International Women’s Day Conference organized by the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) in collaboration with Pentecost University SRC for the International Women’s Day Conference.
The conference was organized under the theme, Celebrating Resilience and Empowering the Next Generation of Women.
Akorfa Ama Akoto joined other women leaders including Naana the Vilonist, Health Activist and Executive Director of Miss Health Ghana, Rockson Akyere; Chairperson, SDTA Awards and IYN UN Special Envoy West Africa, Amb Hon Zino Lexli Ogazi, and 2022 Ghana’s Most Beautiful Winner, Tung-Teiya Dahamani for a Peer Inspired Panel Discussion Session.
During the Peer Inspired Panel Discussion Session themed, “Stronger Together: The Power of Women’s Allyship and Support”, Akorfa Ama Akoto shared some key principles that have helped in her journey as Executive Director of Spring-UP Global Network:
- Have a mindset and attitude of service to the community and humanity
- Be ready to learn, unlearn, and relearn to stay relevant
- Invest in personal development and become a lady of value so you can serve the needs of other women and the nation as a whole. When women learn skills and serve each other with their skills, we will nurture a community of women who support each other.
- Ask for help.
- Tap into the skills and the perspectives men bring on board. We can’t ignore the unique perspectives and support men offer if we want to succeed as women-led organisations.
Congratulations to the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) – Office of the Secretary for Women Development for organising this conference.
