We are starting in Ghana, the first country to gain independence on the African continent. 60+ years on, female parliamentary leadership, is at 14.5%.
Rwanda has made strides here, at 61.2% and the furthest extent of our challenge, is seen in Nigeria, with 3.9% female parliamentary seats.

Currently, of all industries in which females are active, their participation in public administration leadership is 0.7% of all other industry female participation in Ghana. AWPL exists to address this.
