The 'Women's Impact' advocate on International Women's Day, March 8, took to the streets to have a time with head porters(kayayei) at Accra Central.
The initiative was to celebrate International Women's Day with the 'kayayei'. This was to acknowledge the hard work of these underprivileged women and girls and to also to empower them to have a sense of belonging in society. Miss Shemimah encouraged them to work hard and to secure their future by saving some money and having protected sex.
At the end of the project, she and her team gave out Sanitary pads which put smiles on their faces. Also, the 'kayayei' got to know that there was a day set aside to celebrate women and expressed gratitude to Miss Shemimah for choosing to spend her day with them.
