John Gbande is sweeping his front steps - an act of role reversal unheard of in these parts of rural Ghana. Some might even say John's wife has cast a spell on him.

In honour of International Women's Day (March 8) Dispatch visits one of a hundred families living out gender equality in their daily lives for all to see.
