In the opening statement, at the launch of WoMNet Ghana, Hajia Hamdatu Ibrahim Hussain said the launch is important to formalize the existence and the availability of women working with expertise in Mediation, negotiation, and mentorship.

According to her, it provides the network with visibility for the important work that women are doing in the field of conflict resolution.

“We are here to amplify our positions as agents of peace and to confirm that investing in Women, Peace and Security is paramount to promoting Peace and Political stability in the country. We are ready to work with all to achieve it

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this event and launch comes at a very crucial time when Ghana heads to elections in December 2024. Tensions are very high and the terrain is slippery. As mediators we call on the all the political parties, especially the NPP and the NDC to put the interest of Ghana and Ghanaians first. That is the only way to can have a peaceful elections,” madam Hamadatu Ibrahim Hussain stated.
