Happy International #dayofthegirl
Girls everywhere have different visions for their future. We’re pretty sure however that for every menstruating girl, that includes dignified periods.
Our partnership with @thecovaproject makes this possible for girls in low income communities

I'm glad that now people associate this song with my comment about how it promotes paedophilia. Even if they disagree with me, they'll pause and reflect every time they hear it and that’s good enough a start.
We should be ashamed of ourselves for popularizing this song for years

As the world marks Menstrual Hygiene Day under the theme #PeriodFriendlyWorld, we reiterate this message from our #donttaxmyperiod march. Period stigma is as detrimental to the wellbeing of menstruating people as the lack of access to period products.

[Abena Benewaa Fosu @A_Difficult_She]

I love this year’s World Menstrual Hygiene Day theme. A #PeriodFriendlyWorld is one where availability & affordability ensures access, & one where conversations around periods are encouraged & normalized, rather than deemed a taboo.
Happy #mhd2024

In our 4th podcast episode, we discuss violence as a prevalent reality of female sex workers, laws around the profession and how their lives are impacted by law and socio-cultural norms. Links to full discussion 👇🏾

Someone just drew my attention to the unsurprising commotion my comment caused here.
I just want to say that I said what I said and there’s something fundamentally wrong with anyone who disagrees. Unsurprisingly, it’s the men who are foaming at the mouth over this. Telling!

@xm_muva Problem is, a lot of them are gatekeepers and they have access to a lot of women. They further perpetuate the patriarchy and force younger women especially with them. I don’t try to save them from themselves, it’s often impossible but I try to ensure they’re not passing it down.

On a @tv3_ghana this morning, I spoke about how @obourbice Konkotiba song should be banned as it promotes paedophilia. This @mrjamesreinhold person who I just discovered is often in women’s rights spaces has this to say.
Obviously a misogynist profiting off women’s issues

[Abena Benewaa Fosu @A_Difficult_She]

I once got the opportunity to ask @samini_dagaati (he was featured on the song) about this song and he admitted how wrong it was and how he knows better now. He has my respect.

It’s not difficult to understand how problematic this song is, if you’re not being misogynistic.
