The conference, themed ‘The Role of Women Judges in Combatting Negative Cultural Practices in Contemporary Times,’ provided a forum for discussing crucial gender equality and judicial activism issues.
President Akufo-Addo emphasized the importance of investing in judicial infrastructure in achieving the conference’s theme and promoting progress in the judiciary.
He made this statement while inaugurating the 2024 Africa Conference of the International Association of Women Judges.

“In 2020, we launched an initiative to build 100 courthouses with accompanying residential facilities across the country. As of February 2024, we have successfully completed and inaugurated 79 of these projects, which are now operational in various regions. The remaining 21 projects are in various stages of completion and are expected to be finished and inaugurated shortly, with the goal of completing them before the end of my term in office,” he stated
