Progressive Organization for Women's Advancement (POWA)

We are a network of public-spirited individuals, who recognize women’s rights as an integral part of other broader social justice causes.

Historically the women’s liberation struggle in Ghana has largely focused on the interests and aspirations of the middle class, by and large leaving out large sections of women from rural, working class, and poor urban backgrounds - as well as women living with special needs and different abilities. One reason for this situation, is an apparent lack of a cohesive and forcefully common ideological

understanding by and among women’s rights organizations in Ghana; one that would extend beyond the principles of equity and fairness, to link the struggle for women’s liberation with other wider social struggles –

The women’s liberation struggle in Ghana has no direct relationship or involvement with other social justice movements nationwide, and this has led to the effective isolation of women activists; not only from society in general, but specifically from the larger section of women who fall outside the middle and professional classes. Historically, no oppressed group (including that of women) has had the capacity to fully liberate itself; therefore, until the struggle against women’s oppression is linked to other liberation struggles, and the general question of equal citizenship rights, the core aim of the struggle for women’s liberation shall remain lost and impossible to achieve. The Progressive Organization for Women’s Advancement is committed to bridging these historical gaps.
