The Deputy Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Hon Gifty Twum-Ampofo has advised women to grow up and stop taking naked photos of themselves to avoid becoming victims of blackmail in the future.

She said some wicked people always take advantage of women who are naïve and therefore request for naked pictures when they get familiar with them.

Speaking to Akua Sonto on the “THE SONTO SHOW”, Hon Twum-Ampofo stated that, women are very precious in the sight of God and as such must take care of their bodies.

 “Women just have to grow up in terms of what they’re taking and loading onto their phones or computer because the risk is so high,” she added.

She explained that, when a naked or sexual image of a person is shared without their consent to humiliate or embarrass them, the law will take its course, but added that the victim would have already gone through a lot of psychological trauma.

Hon Twum-Ampofo therefore urged parents to keep an eye on their wards always.

“THE SONTO SHOW” is aired every Sunday from 5:00 – 5:30 pm on Agoo TV and discusses social issues, health issues and real life stories.
