Female celebrities are not objects of sex, says Abi Ahuofe

"The way women are viewed in the industry is the first thing I would like to change. I'd like to see female celebrities given more deference and considered for reasons other than being mere objects of sex.

"We have a lot of successful, creative women, but both in music and film, they are viewed as sex objects. Before they may be accepted, they must dress a certain way. What kind of industry are we establishing, I don't understand.

According to Abi Ahuofe, female celebrities are frequently the targets of abuse when they attempt to live up to unrealistic expectations.

"If they act in such a way to draw attention to themselves, they are described as whores or as having a detrimental influence on young people. What should we do now after the late Ebony and Suzzy Williams faced criticism from Ghanaians is a really good example.

In order for one woman to want to cover herself from head to toe and another to want to show skin from head to toe, she said, "I think society has to change the way it sees women to give them a chance to be themselves; to not be afraid to be themselves. So that they would be equally be listened to for the music they make and not because of how they look."

Abi Ahuofe stated that she has the utmost regard for all female professionals in the field who have persisted in the face of obstacles, especially Nana Ama McBrown.

 I greatly like Nana Ama McBrown since she overcame all the obstacles and is now recognized for her talent, but I also know how many insults she took because of the delay in her marriage, she said.
