Ghanaian women’s agitations for economic justice have been a marked
feature of their activism since pre-independence nationalist struggles,
including the trade blockades of 1917 and 1918. Market traders mobilised
resources for party activities and took part in disruptive civil acts that
undermined the colonial economy and contributed to making political change
possible (Awumbila, 2001; Manuh, 1993; Tsikata, 1989). Ghanaian women
also contributed significantly to the success of the Convention People’s Party
(CPP) in national elections (Tsikata, 1989). Such political actions, however,
were propelled by broad national interests and were not directed specifically
towards women’s rights and gender equality concerns.
