Ghanaian actress Gloria Sarfo urges fellow actors to address teenage pregnancy in Ghana using their influence.
Ghanaian actress and media figure, Gloria Sarfo, has called on fellow actors to use their influence to tackle the pressing problem of teenage pregnancy in Ghana. Sarfo's appeal stems from the alarming statistics revealing over 102,000 teenage pregnancies in 2022, as reported by the Ghana Health Service. Emphasizing the adverse effects on individuals, families, and the nation as a whole, she urges filmmakers to leverage the cinematic landscape to join the government and other stakeholders in combating this issue. At the premiere of the documentary 'Unexpected,' focusing on teenage pregnancy, Sarfo advocates for collaborative efforts, stressing the importance of not just reducing but potentially alleviating the problem. She proposes a strategy where filmmakers create movies exploring the challenges associated with teenage pregnancy and actively participate in discussions addressing contributing factors and solutions.
