The sixth edition of the Emerge New Woman programme was successfully held under the theme “RECHARGE”, reinforcing the growing national conversation on women’s mental, emotional, and psychological well-being as a development priority.
A key highlight of the event was the delivery of a solidarity message by Miss Rosemond Obeng, a Presidential Aide at the Office of The President, who represented the Deputy Chief of Staff (Administration), Hon. Nana Oye Bampoe Addo.
Speaking on her behalf, Miss Obeng commended the leadership of Emerge New Woman for sustaining the initiative for six consecutive years and underscored the urgent need to centre women’s mental and emotional wellness within national development discourse.
The address emphasised that women’s well-being is not a private concern but a public responsibility, noting that a nation cannot thrive sustainably if its women are emotionally depleted or mentally overwhelmed.
The message reaffirmed government’s recognition of women as central to Ghana’s social and economic resilience and highlighted ongoing efforts to integrate mental health, psychosocial support, and gender-responsive governance into national policy frameworks.
Miss Obeng further outlined government’s commitment to advancing women’s welfare through deliberate interventions, including the implementation of the National Gender Policy, strengthened mental health systems, social protection programmes, gender-based violence response mechanisms, and collaborative partnerships with civil society organisations that prioritise care, dignity, and balance for women.
Emerge New Woman, founded by Lady May has, over the past six years, grown into a trusted platform dedicated to creating safe spaces for women to heal, reflect, and realign with purpose.
The initiative continues to advocate for wellness as an essential component of sustainable leadership and personal development.
The event additionally featured a brief but impactful keynote address by award-winning actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown, whose reflections on resilience, self-renewal, and the importance of prioritising mental health resonated strongly with participants.
The 2025 edition brought together women from diverse backgrounds, including professionals, entrepreneurs, creatives, and advocates, all united by a shared call to rest, reset, and reconnect with self.
