The awards ceremony comes off on November 30, 2018, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.
The event will honour Ghanaian women who have impacted the growth of the country in areas such as politics, health, education, sports and showbiz.
In all, nominees were announced for 23 categories of the GOWA 2018 including Outstanding Woman of the Year, Outstanding Woman Entrepreneur, Outstanding Woman Actress, Outstanding Woman in Music, Outstanding Woman in Politics as well as Outstanding Woman in Sports. Special recognition awards will also be given to individuals or organizations.
According to Afua Asantewaa Aduonum, founding president of GOWA, women have played “vital roles in our socio-economic setting yet the society, especially Ghana, has, to a large extent, failed to recognise their efforts.”
“However, GOWA has a strong conviction that the time has come for women who are doing great exploits in their respective endeavours should be accorded the honour they deserve,” she highlighted.
