5 badass feminist groups tearing down the ways of patriarchy in Africa

Pepper Dem Ministries – Ghana

Pepper Dem is a fierce group of charismatic young women and their male allies who have put gender on everybody’s agenda in Ghana. The group started as a Facebook page in 2016 as a group of like-minded women “who were already in the business of probing into the structures operating in the Ghanaian society that somehow leave both genders imbalanced and incompatible to work in unison to advance society”.

The group says it calls itself Pepper Dem Ministries” because it engages with the issues which are mostly uncomfortable and unpopular in their socio-cultural space.

“Pepper can burn and we raise issues which can make people shift in their seats. Our advocacy focuses mainly on gender,” the group says. The group has surely put gender on Ghana’s map through a number of public discourses and gatherings.
