The League Litclubs Spelling Bee and Graduation this Saturday
The League Litclubs Spelling Bee and Graduation coming on in
honor of this year's Founders Day/National Volunteers Day at the Northern Region Library
conference hall this Saturday, September 17, 2016.
League of Young Female Leaders formally League of
Ladies-Ghana started as an advocacy movement led by its Founder to encourage
more girls and women to take up decision making roles in their schools and
communities offering free consultancy to young women who wanted to pursue
leadership in diverse ways.
While the League of Young Female Leaders embarking on this advocacy journey, the need
to raise a generation of women leaders with varied professional backgrounds and
the need to explore various development sectors like entrepreneurship and
education became the center of discussion among interested parties.
According to the League of Young Female Leaders, '' In order for our society to reach where it yearns to be,
there is the need to create a well balanced society where decision making is
not monopolized by men from our homes, to schools and to other institutions.
Leadership being considered the core of societal development therefore needs to
involve both male and female. Unfortunately, the female is often left out in
the spheres of leadership all over the world due to certain religious, cultural
and institutional misappropriations.
This is largely attributable to the lack
of education, mentoring and empowerment for the feminine side and in most
cases, complete ignorance of the value and worth of women in contributing to
societal development. The situation is worse off within the global south and
Ghana is no exception. Ghana is largely endowed with a huge percentage of the feminine
population, yet we play a minimal role with regard to decision making and life
choices. ''
“The League” comes in the wake of a global call to
incorporate the feminine voice at all levels of decision making, to eliminate
all forms of discrimination against the feminine side, to bridge generational
gaps that exist among girls and women, to form a single solidarity movement
devoid of any differences like age, religion, ethnicity among others. says League of Young Female Leaders.
