In line with International Women’s Day 2025 celebration under the global theme – Accelerate Action, the telecommunications giant has outlined a number of internal and external activities to amplify women’s voices, invest in their future, and challenge gender stereotypes.

In a message to launch International Women’s Week, chief executive of Telecel Ghana, Ing. Patricia Obo-Nai highlighted the importance of taking bold steps to elevate and empower women, noting that progress toward gender equality remains slow globally.

“At Telecel Ghana, we don’t just talk about change, we drive it. This International Women’s Month, we are taking concrete steps to ensure that women receive increased support and the push they need to succeed. Accelerating HER is everyone’s responsibility.”

The celebration kicks off with Wear Purple Day, where employees will wear purple attire to symbolise solidarity with women’s empowerment. The #SheElevatesMe campaign will be rolled out to encourage staff to share posts appreciating the inspiring women in their lives.

A wealth building and financial planning webinar will be organised for Ladies in Telecel to provide valuable insights on achieving financial independence and equipping women with economic strategies to secure their futures.

Telecel Ghana will organise the “Accelerate HER Future” Mentorship initiative at the Kanda Cluster of Schools, where female employees will inspire young girls to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM). Additionally, the ‘Buy A Math Set for HER’ campaign is crowdfunding donations to provide essential math tools for girls, ensuring they have the resources for academic studies.

The telco will also host a night of an engaging conversation over drinks focused on strategies for women to accelerate their personal and professional growth. This will be preceded by a ‘Boss Lady Headshot Shoot’, offering female employees the chance to enhance their professional profiles with high-quality headshots.

The climax of the International Women’s Month will be the second edition of the Women 100 Power Connect, a gathering of accomplished and influential women from all sectors of our country to share experiences, inspire one another, exchange ideas and discover areas for collaboration.

“This month is about more than celebration; it’s about concrete action. We are committed to creating opportunities for women to thrive, both within Telecel Ghana and in the communities we serve. The ‘Accelerate HER’ theme reflects our belief that empowering women is essential for building a stronger, more inclusive and equitable world,” said Daniel Adanu, acting Human Resources Director of Telecel Ghana.

Telecel Ghana hopes the Accelerate HER campaign for International Women’s Month will empower more women, challenge biases, and create opportunities for growth to drive gender equity.
