Combating Gender-based Violence in Northern Ghana

Join us online on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, for a critical discussion on combating gender-based violence in Northern Ghana and beyond. This event will highlight the pervasive problem of violence against women and girls, explore the socio-cultural factors that contribute to it, and present effective strategies for prevention and support. In Northern Ghana, the prevalence of gender-based violence is similar to global rates, with additional high incidences of psychological and economic violence. Speakers from academia, policy and practice will share their experiences to raise awareness, build resilience and promote gender equality. Together, we can create safer, more inclusive communities for all.
