Ghana Rugby Launches #EachforEqual Women's Day Competition
The President of Ghana Rugby, Mr Herbert Mensah, has placed “Women in Ghana Rugby” high on his and his administration’s agenda since he took office on 5 June 2014
ACCRA, Ghana, February 27, 2020/ -- The Ghana Rugby Football Union (Ghana Rugby) (http://GhanaRugby.org) will once again embrace International Women’s Day in 2020, this time
with a competition whereby all the ladies of Ghana rugby or from
anywhere in the world will be invited to take part.
The International Women's Day 2020 campaign theme is #EachforEqual. The
organisation describes this year’s theme as follows on their website http://bit.ly/3a8RuXR.
“Equality is not a women's issue, it's a business issue.
Gender equality is essential for economies and communities to thrive.
A gender equal world can be healthier, wealthier and more harmonious - so what's not great about that?
The race is on for the gender equal boardroom, a gender equal
government, gender equal media coverage, gender equal workplaces, gender equal sports coverage, more gender equality in health and wealth ... so let's make it happen. Let's be #EachforEqual.”
The President of Ghana Rugby, Mr Herbert Mensah, has placed “Women in
Ghana Rugby” high on his and his administration’s agenda since he took
office on 5 June 2014.
“I am convinced that Ghana’s rugby ladies are going to become a major
force on the world stage of rugby in the foreseeable future. In 2019 our Ghana Eagles sevens women surprised the rugby world by winning the
Rugby Africa Challenge Trophy in Tunisia in their very first appearance
in an international match. We are ready to build on that
success-platform,” Mensah said.
Mensah also said that Ghana Rugby will play its first women’s fifteens
matches in March 2020 between teams from CentWest and Greater Accra and
that he is convinced that the Ghana Fifteens Women’s Eagles will
surprise the Africa rugby world when it enters the Rugby Africa women’s
fifteens tournament in 2021.
Ms Rafatu Inusah, Board Member and Women’s Representative of Ghana
Rugby, said that ‘#EachforEqual’ has been her mantra from the day when
she was tasked to drive Women in Ghana Rugby.
“With the support from our President and Board Chairman women’s rugby
has blossomed and we are ready to show the world that we can match the
men’s performance and indeed better on it!” Inusah said.
Inusah also showed (https://youtu.be/hJINqUCsX18) the Ghana Rugby ladies the way on how to enter the fun competition to celebrate Women’s Day in 2020.
To enter the competition a lady, young or old, must hold a rugby ball in the fashion she demonstrates and say the words, “#EachforEqual”. The
short clip can then be sent to Ghana Rugby via a competition entry form

An independent panel of judges will adjudicate the entries and award
three prizes to the value of GHS 1,000, GHS 500 and GHS 250 for the best three entries.
