On May 6, 1954, women in the Gold Coast (modern Ghana) organized a massive demonstration against colonial injustices. Inspired by the growing momentum for independence, women’s groups played a critical role in mobilizing grassroots resistance. These women protested economic hardships and political disenfranchisement under British rule. Their activism helped set the stage for Ghana’s independence in 1957 and emphasized the essential role of African women in liberation movements across the continent.
