In the larger cities such at Accra, Tacoradi/Secondi, and
Kumasi, women’s roles are becoming more like their counterparts in the Western world. Many own businesses, speak up in public, etc.
-
Traditionally, a woman’s role has been seen as submissive towards men. They are expected to stay home with the children, gather firewood, fetch water, cook dinner and clean. The traditional role is seen more in the rural areas.
-
Roles tend to be changing and it is becoming more accepted everywhere for women to take on stronger roles.
-
Westerners or foreigners in general can act as themselves and are not usually bound by the expectations the locals place on themselves.
-
Women should avoid wearing clothes that are too revealing or tight fitting. Wearing skimpy clothing will non-verbally tell men that you may be promiscuous and will most likely solicit unwanted attention.
