She advised young ladies to invest their time into trades and activities that would be of benefit to them in the future and not allow themselves to be abused by their male counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are not ready for babies do not go into any relationship with a guy,\u201d she cautioned.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Ocansey stated that children needed to be protected at all times saying that, ladies who throw away their children after birth should desist from such acts as it could lead to their arrest and subsequent prosecution and jail when caught.<\/p>\n<p>She again mentioned that residents should not hesitate to report any form of abuse to the Social Welfare Unit at the District Assembly for the appropriate action to be taken.
