The Female Organizer of the Dormaa Youth Association, Gifty Addae, has called on young women to embrace hard work and independence, expressing concern over what she describes as growing negative social behaviours affecting some women.
In an interview with Kwaku Mensah Abrampa, she said she is worried about a trend where some young women expect financial support from men at the very early stages of relationships. She noted that, in her view, this attitude reflects a lack of financial discipline and self-reliance.
Madam Addae advised against such dependency, urging young women to focus on building skills and working towards financial stability rather than relying on others for survival. She also encouraged women to be mindful of how they present themselves in relationships, stressing the importance of mutual respect.
She further expressed concern about what she described as indecent dressing among some young girls, both in public spaces and on social media. According to her, the association regularly sensitises its members on the need for modesty and responsible behaviour.
She warned that inappropriate dressing and the pursuit of online attention could negatively affect future opportunities, including employment prospects after background checks.
Madam Addae therefore urged young women to prioritise dignity, discipline, and personal development as they pursue their goals in society.
