Speaking on 3Music TV, she emphasised that in such compromises women are not only being taken advantage of or exploited but, also undermines their dignity and self-respect.
âItâs just that some men think that is how they can exhibit powerâŚIf you are a young girl and you are caught up in that situation, Iâll say to you, do not have sex with a man,â she said.

âOne girl told me if âI have sex with a man itâs not written on my forehead, nobody will knowâ. Yes, but it is your dignity. If you want to have sex with a man, have sex with a man but not because there is an opportunity at stake, that is your self-esteem gone,â she added.
Although she has never had any man give her such an ultimatum in the workplace, she strongly believes that it is in the interest of any woman in such a situation to not risk it.
Additionally, she noted that the blame cannot be placed at the feet of the young women in such situations as many do.

Addressing the tendency to blame young women for these predicaments, she said âIt is not their faultâŚif you say watch âhow you carry yourselfâ then you are apportioning some blame to the young women. There is an insane man who thinks that âthis girl, even though she is competent, I must get into her pants before she gets the job.â So it is not the young womanâs fault,â she said.
Nana Aba Anamoah believes it is completely fine if women decide to have mutual sex however, they should never do it because there is an opportunity at stake.
