The purpose of this study was to explore female teachers’ perspectives on gender-based discrimination in organizational development. Using a feminist theory as the theoretical framework and phenomenological research design, a sample size of 25 female teachers from the Savelugu Municipal Education Directorate participated in the study. In terms of data collection and analysis, the study employed a semi-structured interview (SSI) guide and thematic analysis, respectively. The findings revealed that gender-based discrimination is widespread in the Ghana Education Service, and this not only undermines the overall development of the Ghana Education Service but also leads to female teachers’ low representation in the Ghana Education Service, which directly impacts their progression into higher ranks in the service. It was recommended that the Ghana Education Service should not only institute a quota system for recruiting female teachers, but also enhance awareness and implement support structures to fight biases and ensure a safe workplace for female teachers.
