Nana Yaa Konadu, Founder and Patron, delivered a compelling speech highlighting the rationale behind NOWIB’s formation. She emphasized that despite qualifications, dedication, and proven excellence, women in broadcasting continue to face systemic challenges limiting their full participation and recognition in the industry.

In her address, Konadu outlined several persistent issues including the gender pay gap, limited advancement opportunities, appearance-based pressures, and lack of mentorship. NOWIB’s mission, encapsulated in the tagline “Connecting. Empowering. Inspiring,” aims to address these challenges through targeted training programs, mentorship frameworks, policy advocacy, and building a supportive community.

Maame Biamah Akwafo, NOWIB’s President, focused on the organization’s vision for the future. She described NOWIB as more than just a professional association but “a powerful ecosystem where women in broadcasting can thrive professionally while finding holistic support they need as individuals.” Akwafo emphasized that NOWIB will integrate a robust social component, offering mentorship that extends beyond technical skills to include life coaching, mental health support, and work-life balance strategies.

Madam Miriam Boafowaa Opoku read a speech on behalf of the Minister for Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey. The Minister underscored the government’s commitment to supporting initiatives like NOWIB and highlighted the importance of gender-responsive institutions in implementing laws and policies effectively. She noted that her ministry is dedicated to working with media organizations to create safe, equitable workplaces for women in broadcasting.

Honourable Fatimatu Abubakar, who serves as a Patron of NOWIB, delivered a solidarity message emphasizing the need for unity among women in broadcasting to overcome industry challenges. She stressed the importance of mentorship and knowledge sharing to help young women navigate the complexities of the media landscape.

The launch was supported by several sponsors, including Blue Skies, Dede’s Classics, K.K Peprah Roofing, Capital View Hotel, Quash Ice Mineral Water, and Angel Bakery.

The establishment of NOWIB comes at a critical time when women in broadcasting face unique challenges in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. The organization aims to serve as a platform for skills development, knowledge exchange, and advocacy for gender equality in Ghana’s media industry.
