Celebrating women on IWD doesn’t belittle men’s importance – ECOWAS Bank President

The President and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ECOWAS Bank for Investment and Development, Dr. George Agyekum Donkor, holds the view that International Women’s Day does not seek to belittle or erode the importance of men in society nor seek to usurp any established order.

“It is important to note that International Women’s Day does not seek to belittle or erode the importance of men in society, neither does it seek to usurp any established order. Rather, it is to clarify to the world the importance of the development and partnership of men and women to make the world a better place.”
