The 2016 Vice Presidential Candidate of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Brigette Dzogbenuku is calling on the general public to debunk speculations that women are their own enemies.
According to her, women partaking in Ghanaian politics believe in togetherness adding that it is the men who causes the distractions.
Speaking on an Accra-based television on Wednesday, the 2016 Vice Presidential Candidate said "Women are not own enemies. We love each other no matter our differences and we believe in togetherness. When we say we will do something, we go all out. It is the men that causes the distractions"
She further added that since the men see everything as a competition between themselves, she rather sees them as their own enemies.
The 2016 Veep who also doubles as the Founder and Executive Director of Mentoring Women Ghana (MWG) also noted that women in Ghana have been through a lot adding that although the empowerment agenda is gradually growing, they are still not there yet.
She charged women to take up big positions and compete with the men stressing that they(women) are better of as heads than subordinates.
Madam Brigette Dzogbenuku however used the opportunity to rubbish the perception that women occupying topmost position(s) in Organizations across the country gained that out of sex or favours.
She said "It hurts when we hear that women are tagged as people who sleep with men for positions and things. We are well disciplined so it is about time that people stop saying that. If you do not hold yourself to perfection, people will never get to understand you"
