Alhaji Haruna Bukari Dabre, Assembly Member for Mamobi East in the Greater Accra Metropolis, has called on women not to allow themselves to be used in indecent advertisements, which tend to demean their dignity.
He expressed regret that some advertisements in the media reduce women to mere commodities.
Alhaji Dabre made the call on Saturday during a graduation ceremony organised by Rukies Fashion Centre in Accra.
He said any threat to the dignity of women would be detrimental to the larger interest of society.
Alhaji Dabre also advised women to desist from indecent dressing that exposes them to rape and other sexual abuses.
He called on the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Commission for Civic Education, to develop a policy that would help the youth to develop their talents to make them resourceful.
Mrs Rukaya Fuseini, Director of the Centre, said since the 11 years existence of the business entity, it had so far trained more than 100 youth.
She advised the graduating students to put the skills they have acquired into practice to benefit society.
