Glitz Africa has presented the 9th Ghana Women of the Year Honours, a ground-breaking event devoted to elevating women in leadership roles.

The 9th Ghana Women of the Year Awards were held on Saturday (14 September 2024), at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel in Accra.

Claudia Kwarteng Lumor, the chief executive officer of Glitz Africa, noted that the awards not only celebrated the extraordinary achievements of women but also served as a call to action for future generations.

“It is with great honour that I warmly welcome you to the 9th Ghana Women of the Year Honours. Tonight, we gather not only to celebrate the extraordinary achievement of women across various sectors, but also to reflect on the immense potential that women hold in shaping the future of our nation and the world.”

“The Ghana Women of the Year Honours was born out of a vision to create a platform that recognises and celebrates the brilliance, the resilience, and the leadership of women.”

She added that it is a space where we can shine a spotlight on women who are making a significant impact in their fields, uplifting others, and setting the standard of excellence for generations to come. 

“We believe that by celebrating these outstanding women, we inspire the next generations of young women to dream big and to aim higher.”

“Each of you tonight represents not only the best of Ghana in hard work, sacrifice, and determination, but also the collective strength and empowerment of women in Ghana and beyond.”
