Media personality Nana Aba Anamoah, is advocating against young women resorting to using sexual favors for career advancement.
In an interview on 3Music TV, she emphasized the importance of meritocracy and strongly denounced scenarios where women feel compelled to compromise their dignity for professional opportunities.
Nana Aba shared shared, “It’s just that some men think that is how they can exhibit power…If you are a young girl and you are caught up in that situation, I’ll say to you, do not have sex with a man.
“One girl told me if ‘I have sex with a man it’s not written on my forehead, nobody will know’. Yes, but it is your dignity. If you want to have sex with a man, have sex with a man but not because there is an opportunity at stake, that is your self-esteem gone.”
She firmly discouraged such behavior, underlining the potential negative impact on one’s self-esteem.
Despite not personally experiencing such situations, she offered strong advice to women, saying, “It is not their fault…if you say watch ‘how you carry yourself’ then you are apportioning some blame to the young women. There is an insane man who thinks that ‘this girl, even though she is competent, I must get into her pants before she gets the job.”
Nana Aba firmly rejected the notion of blaming women for these challenges, stating, “It is not their fault,” and placing the responsibility squarely on those who exploit power dynamics in professional settings.
While acknowledging the difficulties that women may encounter, she underscored that, “Exchanging sex for a job is not the way to go,” insisting that such compromises are never an acceptable solution.
