Voice of Women: A Civic Dinner

Beryl Nana Ama Akuffo-Kwapong

Beryl Nana Ama, Senior Fellow from Ghana, organised a civic dinner (a group that brings people together over food for conversations that matter) with a few colleagues from her workplace. Beryl shared,"I am passionate about dismantling the patriarchy, empowering women and encouraging conversation. My interest in creating connections drove me to apply these methods in carrying out my Act of Global Citizenship". Addressing gender equaity and empowerment, Beryl said using a 'conversation guide' was unexpectedly stimulating. It was a safe space where everyone was sharing their thoughts and opinions freely. Being able to talk about someone who considers himself "anti-feminist" and having him recognize what feminism is all about was a milestone.
