Prioritize protection of women in the workplace – Haruna to CIHRM Governing Council

Education Minister, Haruna Iddrisu, has charged the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management (CIHRM) to protect women from abuse in the workplace.

Addressing the newly inaugurated Chartered Institute of Human Resource Management (CIHRM) with the support of his deputy, Dr. Clement Apaak, Mr. Iddrisu bemoaned the reports of women who are subjected to all manner of abuse when they are seeking a job or even at some workplaces.

He therefore urged CIHRM to work assiduously in curbing such negative developments.

“Too many young women are silently enduring harassment and exploitation at work.

“We must end the era where women are taken advantage of in their search for decent employment due to desperation,” the Minister for Education stated.

Mr. Iddrisu also charged the council members to uphold high standards of governance, transparency, and accountability in steering their institutions toward excellence.

He emphasized the importance of ensuring strategic leadership, responsible management of resources, and alignment with the government’s vision for quality, inclusive, and future-ready tertiary education.

The Ministry remains committed to strengthening both the physical infrastructure and leadership frameworks that shape Ghana’s education system.
