Here at @wdn Africa Symposium listening to the incredible Nigest Haile speak about how she cofounded Africa’s first women’s commercial bank @BankEnat and how they’re advancing women’s economic security in Ethiopia and supporting other African countries achieve same. Refreshing!

Happy International #dayofthegirl Girls everywhere have different visions for their future. We’re pretty sure however that for every menstruating girl, that includes dignified periods. Our partnership with @thecovaproject makes this possible for girls in low income communities

Join us tonight on @amnestyghana as we discuss healthy relationships amongst youth, how gender norms and stereotypes shape relationship dynamics, its relation to sexual and gender based violence, among others. Set your calendar alert to 7pm.

Power to you sisters! #REJECTFINANCEBİLL2024

@sweetbelarosy @Mochievous You’re joking!!!!

@Mochievous While your assertion may be right, it still doesn't justify keeping cat as a pet or partner when you could have a human baby for keep.

My own I think women who are child-free by choice should be very proud of that choice. And they can loud it anytime and anyhow they want. Being proud of that choice does not undermine the experience or circumstances of anyone else

The conversation just started. Do join us

Mark your calendars for the next episode of #TMMSpaceSeries 🎙️ this Friday with our incredible guests @A_Difficult_She and @awe_somerichy as we talk about #PositiveMasculinity. You don’t want to miss this! #NexGenMen #TransformingMenMovement #EndSGBV

@londonna99 @fishAman00 Thanks buddy. These conversations need to be had. I’m glad to see the discourse happen, even if it’s amidst insults

@fishAman00 Seeing comments of accountability and financial investments just tells us the problem is right at the root of environmental socialization, and fighting that behaviour construct is really herculean. @A_Difficult_She good to see your persistence ✊🏽✊🏽

Chale we get job do o. We really get job do. Because only a few men (and women) understand consent. And people of my gender are in the comments exhibiting rapist tendencies.

Join us discuss sexual consent live on the Duvet Show on GHOne TV

In our final episode for this season, we delve into what ending violence against women through a feminist lens and machinery looks like. Full discussion via links below: YouTube: youtu.be/2l6hy9ezbTk?si… Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/2wOlz2…

I'm glad that now people associate this song with my comment about how it promotes paedophilia. Even if they disagree with me, they'll pause and reflect every time they hear it and that’s good enough a start. We should be ashamed of ourselves for popularizing this song for years

@theyawofosu Glad I got y’all conscious and talking

DJ Black dey play Kokontiba. Akoa begye heat roff

It's episode 5! Join us and @ninaokoroafor as she sheds light on forms of violence against women with disabilities and how we can eliminate it Head to our Youtube or Spotify via links below for the full discussion. Youtube: youtu.be/X0JxUCUsacM Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/40v3AX…

As the world marks Menstrual Hygiene Day under the theme #PeriodFriendlyWorld, we reiterate this message from our #donttaxmyperiod march. Period stigma is as detrimental to the wellbeing of menstruating people as the lack of access to period products.

I love this year’s World Menstrual Hygiene Day theme. A #PeriodFriendlyWorld is one where availability & affordability ensures access, & one where conversations around periods are encouraged & normalized, rather than deemed a taboo. Happy #mhd2024

In our 4th podcast episode, we discuss violence as a prevalent reality of female sex workers, laws around the profession and how their lives are impacted by law and socio-cultural norms. Links to full discussion 👇🏾 YouTube: lnkd.in/dHtx_zF6 Spotify: lnkd.in/dknXdn9A

Someone just drew my attention to the unsurprising commotion my comment caused here. I just want to say that I said what I said and there’s something fundamentally wrong with anyone who disagrees. Unsurprisingly, it’s the men who are foaming at the mouth over this. Telling!

How can men contribute to #EndViolenceAgainstWomen? Learn more about this in our third episode via YouTube here: youtu.be/3Rt9N2KfUrQ?si… And on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/episode/5rNcbY…

@xm_muva Problem is, a lot of them are gatekeepers and they have access to a lot of women. They further perpetuate the patriarchy and force younger women especially with them. I don’t try to save them from themselves, it’s often impossible but I try to ensure they’re not passing it down.

Feminists need to understand a lot of women are totally fine existing under a patriarchal society. Know this and know peace. They want to be in servitude, they want to be infantilized, they want to centre a man, they enjoy being validated by their marriages & children.

I once got the opportunity to ask @samini_dagaati (he was featured on the song) about this song and he admitted how wrong it was and how he knows better now. He has my respect. It’s not difficult to understand how problematic this song is, if you’re not being misogynistic.

On a @tv3_ghana this morning, I spoke about how @obourbice Konkotiba song should be banned as it promotes paedophilia. This @mrjamesreinhold person who I just discovered is often in women’s rights spaces has this to say. Obviously a misogynist profiting off women’s issues
