London: GoldBod Jewellery, a subsidiary of the Ghana Gold Board, has come under intense scrutiny on social media following videos showing the company listed as a sponsor for a private women's empowerment event. The backlash began after a photo circulated online indicating that GoldBod Jewellery, as a government institution, sponsored the recently concluded Woman of Valor event in the UK on March 7, 2026.
According to Ghana Web, the event, founded by renowned broadcaster Nana Aba Anamoah, brought together women from various backgrounds at the London Hilton on Park Lane to network and celebrate ahead of International Women's Day. However, social media reactions quickly turned critical, with many users questioning both GoldBod Jewellery and the Woman of Valor initiative.
Some argued that the event was not accessible to the general public, despite being promoted as an empowerment program. Others raised concerns about the appropriateness of GoldBod Jewellery's sponsorship as a state-owned institution. As the debate intensifies, GoldBod Jewellery, its parent company, and the Woman of Valor event continue to face widespread backlash across social media platforms.
