Otiko said this will be done in the 'He For She' campaign she is rolling out.
She said the campaign will expect Ghanaian men to help Ghanaian women achieve their dreams and also meet their topmost desires in all spheres of life.

She said this will prevent men from seeing female gender activists as enemies since they will all be working for the same cause.
"We have to be partners in life but because our men have forgotten about the role mothers plays in their lives, we are going to get them to be the 'He For She' ambassadors," she said.
Mentioning people she believed will help her, she said the former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Akwatia, Baba Jamal would lead the campaign.
Mr Jamal during the campaign ahead of the 2016 general elections was reported to often ridicule his main contender Mercy Ama Sey from the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

It is alleged that he is still behind some trolling on social media after the Mercy Ama Sey made a statement on the floor of parliament in what many described as poor grammar.

"I don't want Akwatia and other people to think that he is the one leading the Mercy Ama Sey ridicule in the media and all over the place."
"Also, as an indigene of Akwatia, it is in his interest for Ama to flow and look good," she added.
