The Sierra Leone High Commissioner in Accra, Ghana Her Excellency, Francess Virginia Anderson (PhD), has called on the women of Africa to start working the talk by not being laid back.
She made this call while delivering her goodwill message at the launch and inauguration of the African Women in Leadership Organisation (AWLO), Ghana Chapter.
High Commissioner Anderson said that for years now, women have been talking on several issues affecting them, how they intend addressing them amongst other things but with more effort still needed in actualizing or implementing strategies to succeed.
According to her, most women take pleasures in talking and making solid points or suggestions, but shy away when it comes to taking actions or standing up, and this she said delays progress and prevents the women from moving to level higher than where they are at the moment.
When the women started working the talks, their actions, she said, would inspire generations coming to do more and even take actions they never took for the good of women out there.
High Commissioner Anderson urged members of the AWLO Ghana Chapter and invited guests to believe in themselves by preventing bad decisions from being taken so as not to negatively influence the younger generation of women.
Global Patron Chair of AWLO, H.E. Chief Jewel Howard-Taylor inaugurated the Ghana Chapter of the African Women in Leadership Organisation (AWLO), with Madam SIKA Twum as the Vice President and led a recitation of the AWLO pledge.
A panel discussion involving HeForShe champions and a youth dialogue session formed part of the event that was held at the AH Hotel in Accra, Ghana.
