The Network Of Women In Growth (NEWIG), has trained twenty young (20) women in professional driving, fire prevention, basic self-defense and first aid administration in Accra.<\/p>\n

This is to enable them to compete favorably in those fields which are largely male-dominated.<\/p>\n

They were taken through 3-month of intensive technical and non-technical training and underwent a month\u2019s internship program with various organizations to practice what they had studied.<\/p>\n

The Acting Executive Director of NEWIG, Mawulawoe Anato-Dumelo, in an interview with Citi News <\/strong>said the organization despite the success, faced challenges raising funds to procure vehicles to facilitate the training of the women.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting a place for internship was also a challenge\u2026 we wish more organisations would open their doors to the ladies such as the GPRTU, Banks and many others,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

She called on the government to provide avenues for the employment of the drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleading with the government to open their arms to these women who are drivers to drive the ministers, advisers etc. to enhance them and give them experience\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also pleaded with the government to pass the Affirmative Action Bill into a law since that would enhance the right of women in their work place.<\/p>\n

The chairperson for the occasion, Dzifa Gomashie, who is a former deputy minister for tourism and creative arts charged the graduates to serve with humility and perseverance in whatever working environment they find themselves.<\/p>\n

NEWIG is committed is to supporting women\u2019s self-development to have full autonomy over their lives.<\/p>\n
