Would you want to see your husband cry? Weird it sounded, but that was one of many tricky questions posed to eight accomplished, resilient women and their answers were intriguing.
All but one would love to see their husbands cry; for good or for bad reasons; for revenge or the fun of it.
Under the initiative of CHF, an International NGO, the Institute of Local Government Studies and Alliance Francaise, the women - Nana Oye Lithur, a lawyer, Beatrice Bernice Boateng, an MP, Mrs Rosina Gadzepko, Mrs Felicia Amoafo, Hajia Mariama Salifu, Hon Jane Amerley Oku, Mrs Joann Nutako and Mrs Magdalene Kannae took volunteers and media men through a rather inspiring yet painfully exciting life long experiences about themselves; experiences replete with pain, struggles, near poverty, adversity; experiences that shaped their lives, their world and their perceptions; experiences that came with a crowning glory of liberation, independence and success not only to themselves but the community.
The Panel discussion which was under the theme “Women of Ghana, where resilience reigns” was part of a closure for the SCALE–UP project currently being undertaken by the NGO.
The programmes director of the CHF, Ishmael Adams, told Myjoyonline.com the discussion was to celebrate resilient women who have not had enough space and opportunities in the Ghanaian society merely because they are women but whose contributions have led to massive developments in the societies where they come from.
