The non-governmental organization, Girls Shall Grow (GSG), has successfully organized its latest Menstrual Hygiene Conference in Okoman, Accra, marking a significant milestone as the group’s first such programme held outside the Ashanti Region.

The conference, made possible through the support of donors and partners, brought together students, educators, health professionals, and community leaders to promote menstrual health awareness and advocate for a more inclusive and supportive environment for girls.

Addressing participants, Disease Control Officer at Ussher Hospital, Ms. Portia Salia, delivered a presentation on the organisation’s 2026 theme, “Together for a Period-Friendly World.” She emphasized that menstrual health should not be considered solely a women’s issue, stressing that families, schools, communities, and society at large all have important roles to play in eliminating stigma and ensuring girls can manage menstruation with dignity.

According to her, parents, teachers, men, boys, and girls must collectively contribute to creating safe and supportive spaces where discussions on menstruation can take place openly and without discrimination.

School authorities at Okoman also reaffirmed their commitment to supporting initiatives aimed at improving the well-being of girls. The School Management Committee Chairman, Mr. Simon Fusese, Headteacher Mr. Charles Ofori Akunnor, and Girl Child Coordinator Ms. Emma Adamah echoed calls for greater community involvement in promoting menstrual hygiene and girls’ empowerment.

The conference also featured a teenage pregnancy awareness session facilitated by Girls Shall Grow Executive Director, Mrs. Louisa Amoah. The session provided participants with practical information on adolescent reproductive health, responsible decision-making, and strategies for avoiding teenage pregnancy.

Girls Shall Grow paid a courtesy call on the Obuasi East Municipal Educational Directorate.

It was an inspiring and productive meeting. The Municipal Director of Education, Mr. Kwabena Owusu Nketsiah, encouraged us to keep considering male involvement in our programmes.
According to him, when boys and men are included, they grow to better understand girls and are able to complement the work we do.

He also commended Girls Shall Grow for the impactful work we are doing within the Municipality and its surrounding communities. Together, we look forward to strengthening partnerships that will help empower and support more girls in our communities.

The visit was honoured by:
