The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 5 - Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls - is highly relevant to the Queen of Ghana pageant. Thisannual event, which celebrates the achievements and potential of Ghanaian women, aligns with the global drive for greater gender equality and women's empowerment.
According to the UN's progress report on SDG 5, the world is not on track to achieve gender equality by 2030. Significant gaps remain in areas such as legal protection, women's representation in leadership, and economic opportunities. The Queen of Ghana pageant provides a platform to address these disparities and showcase the remarkable contributions of Ghanaian women.
