Chapter 2 - Afterthoughts
“As young girls, you should know that the sin of Eve is with you. You carry it and so must control yourselves. If you wear all these wigs and adorn yourselves with jewellery and you’re not a prostitute, what do you think you attract?

Music MoonGirl Fu is a very intelligent high school student at an Anglican girls’ high school in Accra. But she’s in hot water: she’s just been sacked for going…well…full MoonGirl mode on a school priest who she caught sexually harassing her friend. Now she has to face her mother who the school lied to about the real reason for Fu’s dismissal, in order to protect the priest.

Meanwhile, in the Wassa West District there’s a crisis on the MoonGirl Radar. There’s a femicide happening in an area that was hit many years ago with cyanide pollution from gold mining activities. All water bodies were polluted resulting in many deaths both above and below the waters.

What can we do in individual and communal ways to curb this? What needs to stop? What needs to be encouraged? *
