The Member of Parliament for Sunyani West, Millicent Amankwah Yeboah has expressed her disapproval to the expression “women are their own enemies”.
Contributing to a statement on the floor of the House to mark International Women’s Day, she called for conscious effort to erase that perception.
“It is society that has discussed this and this was a conversation that someone started, and we can end that by pulling each other with love, care, compassion and supporting each other; and this needs to start from the home”.
She advocated for conscientizing the young girls to develop self-esteem, confidence and self-actualization then we move to youth and women in leadership; “let us get closer to our young ones”.
The Sunyani West lawmaker also noted that there are many areas that women can lead including politics, business, ministry among others; and urged society to push women to the top, stating that she is happy because this year’s theme is on accelerated action.
“We are moving quickly, and I am pledging to be part of the army to rise and accelerate women, in equity and equalization. I would pledge and encourage the House and our community, we have a lot of women there let us start from our doorstep; with unity we would be able to achieve a lot”.
