“Pregnant women run anytime they see me” – NPP activist
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

In Ghana, individuals of short stature face societal challenges rooted in cultural beliefs and misconceptions.

Some people with dwarfism report being stigmatized and even feared within their communities.

A courageous individual has come forward to share her heart-wrenching experience of living as a little person in Ghana.

Despite facing ridicule, rejection, and social isolation, she remains resilient and determined to raise awareness about the plight of little people in Ghanaian society.

The popular New Patriotic Party activist In an interview, sported on social media, the young lady recounted the numerous instances of humiliation and marginalization she has faced in her daily life.

She noted that when she encounters pregnant women in public, they often run away from her, apparently due to superstitions believes.

“Where I live, anytime I go outside, and pregnant women see me coming towards their direction, they run away from me,” she revealed. “They seem to think that I’m somehow ‘cursed’ or ‘unlucky’ person. They believe when the look at me they will give birth to my liken person a stigma she discribed as unfortunate”.

She shares an experience of trying to help a pregnant woman, only to be insulted and called names a development that left her traumatized and feel rejected in society sometimes.

“I was trying to help a pregnant woman carry her items, but she insulted me, calling me ‘deity’ (Bosomba) and saying that God would punish me. I felt so bad, but my cultural madam has taught me to be strong and proud of who I am” she spoke with emotional tone.

Despite these challenges, she credits her supportive family, particularly her mother, for instilling in her a sense of self-worth and confidence.

“My parents are tall, but they’ve always made me feel special one and appreciated. My mom has been my rock, encouraging me to pursue my passions and never give up.”

As a member of a cultural dance troupe, she has had the opportunity to showcase her talents and challenge societal stereotypes.

“When I’m performing on stage, people are amazed and happy. They ask where I’m from and compliment me on my skills. But when I try to approach them after the show, they run away. It’s as if they’re afraid of me or don’t know how to interact with me. However, they enjoy my entertainment shows.”
