Why the need for Eunoia?

In today’s society, it is an unfortunate reality that women and girls experience disparities on a global scale and even more harshly in demographics that are prone to inequalities, poverty and injustice.

Tough Reality

As stated in the World Food Program (WFP) Gender Policy and Strategy, gender inequality is a contributing factor to hunger and poverty - roughly 60% of chronically hungry people are women and girls.

A higher proportion of adolescent girls are in school than ever before in Sub-Saharan Africa, but the percentage of those who complete secondary education is still dismally low at 42% according to World Bank Group (WBG).

Large gender gaps remain in women’s access to decision making and leadership in Sub- Saharan Africa - 26.3% of seats in national parliament are held by women in Ghana.

Intimate partner violence is by far the most prevalent form of violence against women globally. More rural women experience domestic violence, and yet few seek services, according to a multi-country study by the World Health Organization (WHO).

According to the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS), about 24.4% of women between 15-49 years’ experience intimate partner physical and/or sexual violence at least once in their lifetime.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that 21 million girls aged 15-19 years in developing regions become pregnant.

Currently, an estimated 100 million people across Africa suffer from clinical depression, including 66 million women according to the World Economic Forum (WEF)

Most Sub-Saharan African governments devote less than 1% of their budgets to mental health services. Due to the lack of investment in related services, 85% of people suffering from depression on the continent have no access to effective treatment.

What happens when we overcome such challenges?

We support and build a resilient and mindful next generation of young women and girls who have healthy mindsets to carry them through all walks and phases of life. A healthy mind, perspective and positive self-image and talk is essential to cultivate a purposeful life that can alleviate and overcome the disparities that young women and girls face.
