Women in Ghana have been turning shea nuts into butter for centuries. People across Africa have used it for skin and hair care, food, and medicine for at least 700 years. But for the past four decades, men have been cutting down the very tree that provides livelihood to many families. We traveled to Ghana to find out how despite the challenges, this group of women artisans is Still Standing.

This is so sad to me. The demand for shea butter has increased by 600%. These women should be living in luxury. Per usual, every country takes the resources from Africa but somehow manage to leave the inhabitants out of the equation. It's sickening but from now on I'll definitely make the effort to buy from small businesses vs commercially

@sophiaumezinwa9655 Год назад

Buying from small business or from all those elderly women that sells is the best, it's still raw and natural.

@CHICKENNUGGET69360 Год назад

Well they are not the big suppliers of shea butter. They can only produce so little.

@mistaman4638 Год назад

The American way , look at the Afghan women that had all their money stolen by the u.s.... Now they cant leave the house, drive , Or even be seen .. To bad they aren't White & Christian like the Ukrainian Fascists... We would send billons for ya.. 😂. . The saddest part.?.. Its true...

@kikoedano6861 Год назад

"every country takes the resources from Africa" I think this statement is wrong, Africa is selling these raw materials because most producers can't process it themselves. If these countries has a more decent manufacturing industry, they don't have to sell everything raw but instead a processed product. Even partially processed product should suffice. Example, instead of selling ores they will sell steel. Even if they cant build ships, steel alone has more than doubles the value of the raw material and also helps local employment.

@krystelmcneil6811 Год назад

While I'm not sure that we can purchase from them directly, this story and issue is not just specific to them, is representative of all small shea butter producers in Africa who have been doing this for centuries. I think what we can do to support them is know who and where we are getting our shea butter from. I'm lucky enough to buy mine from African vendors in Chicago who fly home a couple times a year and they bring things directly back . One in a green soap that I use but the other is Shea butter, it's so pure I can put it in my food. It's WAY better than commercial grade too an less expensive. But I would find African stores and vendors near you.

“If you are only one or two women that goes into the bush to pick, it is likely that you won’t come back.” This sent chills down my spine. This is their reality that they live every single day. It’s like the ‘watch out for the monsters after dark’ story that people used to tell little girls to scare them from leaving the house, except in their case it’s literal.

@HabitualLover Год назад

In most women and girl's case it's literal all over the world. And it's our own sons, brothers, dads and husbands doing awful things. That's why it's crucial for women to have means to provide for ourselves whenever we're single, and to mind the safety of women around us in our communities like they do.

But when you worked so hard, you need rest, so you buy a machine to do the hard work. It's a vicious cycle when demand and conflicting needs put a strain on vulnerable populations. Africa should be benefiting from it's own wealth. This is how you know colonialism never ended. Also, the excess of capitalism is well known now. Demand for this wouldn't destroy people and the environment if we could get these corporations and capitalist-corporate-minded individuals to stop forcing lifetimes of overtime labor that scarcely supports the forced laborer and only benefits a microscopic few who insist on commandeering the whole planet for their personal use. Every culture disabled by colonialism knew how to live within their local resources and trade for the rest. Then came greedy, ignorant, godless marauding people from over there and the planet earth has suffered indescribably since. It's extra needless.

its appreciable they're still sticking on to traditional methods but if they take this as their primary source of income it's advisable to incorporate sophisticated technology phase by phase to keep up with mechanised sector. its kinda devastating when we see all our hardwork and labour getting little to no returns just because we stood there while the world went ahead. yall deserve much more for all these efforts seriously

@gggggg-hs2tk Год назад

tbh they could still incorporate traditional labour with modern times in different ways, like they could also offer tours or workshops, I'm sure a lot of tourists would pay for that!

@marshyeIIow Год назад

@Bystander232 im not sure how well you perceive "sophisticated technology" in this context. coming from a "third world" (like the west puts it) country myself who had worked closely with traditional sector workforce i just pointed out something i observed from field, adding in technology doesn't mean transforming their workplace into some ultra modern factory overnight. can't really blame you tho!! i think its simply the issue of global west's understanding about modernization vs what we (developing and under developed countries) actually mean when we say technology and modernization.

Nah, this is ridiculous. they deserve to have abundance in wealth. My mom has been using shea butter on me since I was 4. We always got them from the african shops in Atlanta but covid hit these places hard and it hasn’t been the same since. There are so many brands and companies taking advantage of the market. Before all the hype, it was 2010 and good shea butter was available. My eczema was healed, my skin was healthy, and the white kids at school were bullying me for using this instead of “normal” lotion. Now look where we are…how ironic💆🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ Anyways…………..I will pay anything to get this DIRECTLY from them- even if it takes forever to ship. I don’t care if the shipping is ridiculous. Those working and producing this straight from the motherland deserve to be living well anyways. Ridiculous…Keep y’alls mouths shut next time…Gatekeep and build from there.
