Female artistes in the northern region have called on people in the music industry to see them as artists instead of sex objects. According to these artists, most people especially the men who are in charge of the promotion and managing of artists in the region usually see female artists as just sex objects without acknowledging them as creative artists who can also do music.
The industry which is a male-dominated area has consistently and sexually exploited women in the name of promoting their work and managing them. The female artists described the perpetrators of this crime as wicked, heartless and shameless.
The ladies were to talk about their challenges in the industry, but most of what they talked about were geared towards sexual and gender-based violence. The sexual exploitation they faced in their line of work is being perpetrated by male players in the industry especially, the producers, managers, radio and tv presenters.

Memunatu Laadi (Verse)
If I’m going to count to you the importance of a woman, you did worship me and give me your all.
The president, cane from a woman womb
Dagbon great chiefs, all came from a women’s womb.
The Prophet told us, woman is respect, if you are inpatient, don’t go close to a woman. Improve my talent, not because of my beauty
If you are going to help me, help me in God’s name, don’t help me because of my thing. Respect me, womanhood is respect. I’m a woman and I’m going to take dagbon music to the top.
