As a black women I know some Ghana men, they always think they have right but the women not. I just went for a modelling flight to Amsterdam & they where howling at me if I was some kind of peace of meat. This is not a way to threat a women. As a decent black girl don't threat me as bad as you threat your women. In one Dutch street even drugs and prostitution started because of them, a Dutch Villa house was overraided by Ghana men, on tv. Where where the women to say stop their husbands, where?

Wow, thank you Paula! This is very informative as I have had no knowledge of Africa, or Ghana before this. It is jarring to see how so many women in Ghana are so disadvantaged, and also to see the stirring examples of the women leaders you have recorded. Good to have one's eyes opened. Lee
