"“We don’t have infrastructure to support young mums in Ghana.”"
"We cant rely on men. They are busy themselves looking for money to be able to keep their family. So women, and particularly working women, will benefit if you have, like, at work some places where we can keep our breast milk, some places where we can breastfeed, some places where we know that our children are safe, and then by the end of the day probably leave and take them home."
"I also mentor other women in health research to help them shine and run an empowerment programme for girls in rural areas where we award those who are excelling."
"“Educate our boys — educate men around the world to be agents of change by supporting women.”"
"The burden of motherhood falls heavily on women. I think thats one of the reason that we dont have enough women emerging in the careers, particularly in sciences."
"So its not like a feeling. It’s a fact that women stay at a lower stage or lower rung because of many barriers. And then people who get to the top positions are men. Its a fact."
