On the occasion of the International Day Of Zero Tolerance For Female Genital Mutilation, established by the United Nation in 2003, on February 6, 2023, Women’s Federation Ghana prepared an outreach program for an character education focused on students both female and male in Ghana.
The aims were first to educate the students on the dangers of the female genital mutilation in general. Secondly, all the students were given a talk on the danger of HIV Aids and other sexually transmitted diseases. Talk was supported by flip charts to help the visual learners.
The WF-Ghana team, led by Mrs. Whyte (National President) ,was received in GOLDEN CHILD school and TEACHERS’ EXPERIMENTAL school, both schools located in the Greater Accra Region. A total number of 60 teenager students received us in their schools.
Women’s Federation advised the youth on the necessity of living a life of abstinence before marriage. At the end of the talk, the students were guided to make a pledge to remain pure and rather focus on their studies until the time of marriage.
