The Director — Centre for Gender, Research Advocacy and Documentation at the University of Cape Coast, Dr Georgina Yaa Oduro says there must be equal opportunities for boys and girls to help mitigate challenges associated with gender issues.
She made the call at a day’s stakeholders forum on Sexual Based Gender Violence in Cape coast.
Dr Oduro expressed the hope that the sensitization workshop will help in the dissemination of information since most of the stakeholders are from the Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs).
A Public Health Nurse, Delali Folly who presented the findings of a survey on Adolescent Pregnancies in the Region said teenage pregnancy increased by 4%.
According to the survey, the young girls are mostly impregnated by drivers.
