The League Litclubs Spelling Bee and Graduation
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 on 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.
