National Women Organiser of the United Party, Gloria Amenu, has called on the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection to urgently provide psychological care and protection for women allegedly affected by the circulation of intimate videos without their consent.
Her comments follow allegations that a foreign national secretly filmed and circulated intimate videos of Ghanaian women, sparking public outrage and renewed concerns about digital safety and privacy.
Speaking in an interview on JoyNews' Newsfile on Saturday, February 21, she described the situation as deeply disturbing and warned of the severe emotional toll on the victims.
She cited reports of broken marriages and emotional distress, including disturbing rumours that one affected woman may be contemplating suicide.
“This is serious. Those ladies are victims. They are going through immense emotional trauma. The Ministry must step in and provide psychological support and protection,” she said.
Ms. Amenu also called for collective national action to halt the further spread of the videos, particularly on social media platforms such as TikTok.
“As a nation, we must take a bold stand. We can formally demand that TikTok remove all related videos and prevent further circulation. If we unite — especially as women — and raise our collective voices, we can push for action. These platforms respond when nations speak firmly,” she said.
