According to Mary, who studied Human Resource Management, her firm, Sheguards, is bent on giving an opportunity to women and young ladies who have the passion but lack the chance to showcase their ability particularly in security services.

She tells YEN.com.gh:

"I want to give a voice to women through this. And in the next five years, I want to be able to give a lot of young women lots of opportunities that break the barriers in male-dominated fields".

Mary also mentioned that it has not been a challenge getting recruits because there are lots of people who are passionate about this kind of job but have never had the opportunity to practice it.

However, she admitted there is that tendency for people to try contracting male-security services because they have the notion that men are more capable of doing this but those are services we can offer as well.
