The Daily Graphic says although Ghana continues to make strides in women's empowerment, certain intractable traditional and socio-cultural norms and perceptions about women's place in society continue to reinforce gender stereotypes of femininity and masculinity, thereby thwarting gender equality efforts.

The Ghanaian Times says breast cancer is now a whip in women's lives globally. According to the WHO, women die every 69 seconds of breast cancer globally. The paper says statistics indicate that cancer cause more deaths than other known deadly disease world. Health experts say the rate of cancer cases among women is rapidly growing. The paper therefore says that inspite of all the public education the government should deepen education and create awareness on the disease in all corners of the country to decrease its spread.
