Ghanaian women have been \u00a0advised to rise beyond the limitations placed on them by society and reach their higher potential.<\/p>\n

All the speakers at the Citi FM’s Just Women Forum<\/strong>\u00a0told participants to resist the pressures, tradition and culture put on them and work hard to achieve their goals.<\/p>\n

One of the speakers, Ellen Hagan of L\u2019aine Service\u00a0 asked young women to carefully choose the right husbands if they want to succeed both at work and in their marriages.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou need to choose the right partner. You think it\u2019s only the men that choose? We also choose and I say to the young ones, you first of all have to decide; do I even want to get married,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n

According to her, young career women should not succumb to societal pressure to get married because it is a life-long decision which needs careful consideration.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you haven\u2019t found the right person, don\u2019t get married. It\u2019s better not to be married than to be miserable,\u2019 she stressed.<\/p>\n

She also appealed to parents to raise their girl child to \u201cthink a bit differently about themselves; raising the men who are now becoming young adults to learn to do things in the home to be a support to their future spouses if they choose to get married.\u201d<\/p>\n

A variety of issues were discussed at the Just Women Forum which was attended by women of all ages.<\/p>\n

Speakers at the forum which was aimed at empowering women included Estelle Akofio Sowah of Google Ghana, Ruka Sanusi, founder of Alldens Lane, Ellen Hagan of L\u2019aine Service and Dzigbordi Dosoo of Allure Africa.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Dosoo who spoke on honing your appearance told the ladies to dress appropriately for their body types.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the topic \u2018The 360 woman: Walking the tightrope of family and career<\/em><\/strong>“, Dr. Mrs. Ellen Hagan noted that a key factor in succeeding as a wife and a career woman is to choose the right life partner.<\/p>\n

The women also went through speed mentoring with other successful women working in various fields.<\/p>\n

Some patrons sharing their experience after the forum told Citi News<\/strong>, the time allocated for the forum should be extended the next time it is organized.<\/p>\n

One participant said: \u201cIt was impressive, it was nice but the only problem I had was the time but in the nutshell, it was a nice programme and we hope that more of such programmes will be held not only in Accra.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Estelle<\/a>

Another also stated that \u201cthis should be done regularly for those of us that are starting our businesses. It inspires us to keep going. I was quite impressed and I learnt a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another participant said she was undecided about attending the programme but \u201cI think I learnt a lot. It was very interesting and it answered some of the questions I had.\u201d<\/p>\n

The speed mentors for the event were Carmen Bruce Annan Director, Bruce-Annan Consult, Regina Agyare an I.T. Specialist (Soronko Solutions), Vivian Kai Mensah the Head of Business Desk (Citi FM), Naa Sunkwa Mills a medical doctor with the Ghana Health Service,Mabel Simpson a Fashion Entrepreneur (msimps), Yawa Hansen of Global Shapers Hub and Ruth Botsio, Barrister at Law\/Career Guidance Consultant.<\/p>\n
