Will Ghana ever fulfil her destiny, if as a people, we do not take the steps needed to ensure gender parity in Ghanaian society? Women are a force for good in communities wherever in Ghana one goes. That is a fact.
Economically, they form the micro-entrepreneurial backbone of our national economy's private-sector. And they hold and bind families together - often forced by male irresponsibility to nurture children from their unions with their offsprings fathers' alone as single parents.
To inspire our much-talented younger generation of females in present day Ghana, today, we are posting culled content from the online version of 'The Female Quotient'.
Our hope, in so doing, is that young women in university campuses across Ghana, and in our nation's corporate world, will connect and work together to seek change that will bring about gender parity in Ghana - without which our beloved country cannot be successfully transformed into a prosperous society.

We Believe…
diversity is good for business.
Our story
We went from a moment to a movement. The Girls’ Lounge was born after founder Shelley Zalis experienced the power of the pack in 2013. Zalis invited some girlfriends to join her at the male-dominated Consumer Electronics Show, and told them to invite their friends.
About 50 women ended up walking the floor together. It was a “heartbeat moment” where the minority felt like the majority.
What started as an informal female gathering has turned into a movement that emphasizes collaboration and mentorship to activate real change.
In addition to the Girls’ Lounge, The Female Quotient also offers research and strategy solutions for forward-thinking corporations to give companies and leaders the tools they need to design the culture they want.
Our mission is to advance gender equality in the workplace. When you put women in any equation, the equation gets better.
60%

30%
The more likely a woman is than a man to receive feedback that they are “bossy” , “to aggressive” or “intimidating”
25%
