The First Lady, Mrs Rebecca Akufo-Addo, has called for the economic empowerment of women and girls in Africa, especially mothers, to help keep their children in school.
She said income generated from such empowerment could help the girls, some of whom were mothers, to keep their children in school.
She said female children, who were usually denied education when the family could not afford the cost, would benefit immensely from economic empowerment.
