The participants were also taken through topics on discipline, empowerment of the girl child, and being security conscious.<br \/>The team also sensitised some members of the Saru community in general on the pertinent issues mentioned above.<br \/>These targeted sensitisation exercises are scheduled to continue over the next few days and climaxed with a wider gathering of all targeted groups visited before the team moves on to Dorimon, in the Upper West Region.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
