Addressing Journalists from various regions of the country on Thursday in Ada at AQUA Safari Resort, Mr. Adoboe stressed the importance of constant skill development and partnerships, using GWJN- M-CODe partnership with World Vision Ghana as example, to achieve universal access to improved sanitation and contribute to SDG-6 targets.

GWJN National Coordinator further noted, that Menstrual hygiene advocacy is crucial, as poor hygiene poses serious health risks, including infections and infertility.

Mr. Adoboe urged journalists to play a critical role in advocating for improved sanitation facilities, education, and support for women and girls.

“As our partners repose so much trust in us, we must work hard to justify that trust by constantly playing our media advocacy role, information role, and if the needs be, apply the critical voice to issues in the WASH sector, all in the interest of getting duty bearers off their bums and taking the right and relevant actions that make the collective national WASH goals achievable” he stressed

He further emphasized that everyone benefits from the menstrual cycle and must work together to support women.
