Liberian Advocate Nancy Glay Urges Young Women to Lead Fight Against Drugs

And Stay Focused

By: Alfred Kollie

Monrovia, Liberia – June 26, 2025: As Liberia joins the international community in commemorating World Drug Day, a passionate call has been made by Liberian female advocate Nancy Sweetie Morgan Glay, urging young women to remain focused and avoid behaviors that could derail their future.

Madam Glay, an official of the Christian-based nonprofit organization Brain Light International, encouraged females across the country to rise above life’s challenges and take a stand against drug abuse and trafficking, which continue to plague communities in Liberia.

In her message, Glay emphasized the importance of education and self-discipline, especially in the face of issues like teenage pregnancy and prostitution.

She urged young women to stay in school, remain determined, and focus on building a positive future.

“Young women must see themselves as leaders in this fight,” she stated. “We cannot allow drugs to destroy our dreams and communities. Let us rise, stay in school, and stay off the streets.”

Her remarks come as Liberia grapples with increasing drug-related issues, particularly among youth, prompting calls for stronger advocacy and community engagement in the fight against substance abuse.

She spoke Thursday with a group of streets in the 12 Street Community as part of a program making the observance of World Drugs Day.
