Ms. Oppong-Yeboah highlighted the significance of equal representation in decision-making, pointing out that women offer distinct perspectives and solutions.

"Women are a vital part of our society's fabric. To advance our nation, we must elevate more women to leadership positions," she said.
Ms. Oppong-Yeboah also emphasised that women in political offices must deliver concrete results and prove themselves capable of leading effectively.
She encouraged women in political positions to go beyond ceremonial roles and improve the lives of Ghanaians.
Her advocacy is part of a broader push for gender equality, as she believes that empowering women is essential for societal and economic growth.
