Scientific Study from the year 2019 in the subject Sociology - Relationships and Family, , language: English, abstract: This qualitative research assessed the effectiveness of the strategies adopted by four key NGOs in addressing Violence Against Women (VAW) within the Ghanaian context. VAW is a worldwide pandemic that permeates across all geographical boundaries and impacts all people and societies regardless of culture, class, ethnicity, age, race, socio-economic status, political leaning, or religion. It is a daily phenomenon faced by humanity from the household level to national levels. Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have devised several means of curbing VAW but the menace still persist. The study targeted a total of fifty two respondents comprising; eight personnel from the four selected NGOs; twelve state actors; fourteen non-state actors and eighteen direct beneficiaries through the usage of in-depth (informal) and key informant interviews, semi-structured questionnaires, direct field observations as well as desk top review of official documents. The study found out that, all four NGOs utilised among others, five key strategies in tackling the menace of VAW in Ghana and these are awareness creation, lobbying and advocacy, community mobilisation, activism and networking, training/capacity building and service provision. The study results further indicated that, notwithstanding the efficacy of the strategies deployed by the NGOs, there were some challenges that confronted the NGOs in their fight against VAW. Notable among them were the lack of willingness on the part of victims of VAW to report and further pursue perpetrators of VAW, financial constraints facing the NGOs as well as state actors and lack of well-coordinated approach on the part of all stakeholders in their effort to eradicate VAW in Ghana. The study made a number of recommendations, including collaborative efforts of all stakeholders to fight VAW, adequate resourcing and funding of the NGOs by both government and donor agencies. Also recommended is the intensification of the education on the unlawfulness of VAW and that, any culprits apprehended would be punished by law. These and many others will serve as measures to improve the effectiveness of the strategies employed by the NGOs in their fight against the cancerous menace of VAW in Ghana.

The socialization of men and women in Ghana is understood as conferring either patrilineal or matrilineal rights, privileges and responsibilities. Yet, previous studies that explored the causes of domestic and marital violence in sub-Saharan Africa and Ghana paid less attention to kin group affiliation and how the power dynamics within such groups affect marital violence. Using the most recent Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS) conducted in 2008, and applying Ordinary Least Squares, this study examined what influences physical, sexual and emotional violence among matrilineal and patrilineal kin groups. Results show that patrilineal ever-married women experience more physical and sexual violence than matrilineal ever-married women. However, matrilineal ever-married women experience more male partner emotional violence than patrilineal ever-married women. Male dominance is the strongest independent predictor of physical, sexual and emotional violence. Also, women with higher education experienced reduced levels of sexual violence in patrilineal societies compared to those with no education. Contextualizing these findings within feminist scholarships on domestic violence against women, they suggest that interventions aimed at eradicating the occurrence of domestic violence in Ghanaian communities should appreciate the dynamics of kinship norms.

Violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a worldwide phenomenon. Globally, 35% of women have experienced physical or sexual intimate partner violence (IPV) or non-partner sexual violence in their lives. VAWG is estimated to cost the global economy about US$ eight trillion. Most studies on violence in Ghana discuss domestic violence or some forms of sexual violence but lack a comprehensive view of VAWG and its costs and impacts on communities, businesses, and the national economy. Our international consortium undertook a mixed-methods study to estimate the economic and non-economic losses caused by VAWG.¬†We surveyed 2002 women and 805 male and female employees and conducted 24 in-depth interviews (IDIs) and 8 focus group discussions (FGDs). The study finds that costs of VAWG are high and multi-fold. It estimates costs to health, social relationships, and productivity for individuals, their families, and communities. Individual well-being and capabilities are impacted through absenteeism or missed care work and mental health issues. VAWG deepens household poverty by out-of-pocket expenditures that arise to address medical and legal issues that result from violence. Additionally, VAWG affects the vibrancy of communities as women,Äôs participation and leadership decline. These costs accumulate to have profound effects on the Ghanaian economy and society.

ActionAid Ghana (AAG) has been working in Ghana since 1990 promoting women’s empowerment. AAG's Country Strategy Paper (CSP VI), under the name, 'People's Power for Social Justice', places women's rights and gender equality at the centre of its work. Reducing violence against women and girls is a key thematic area in AAG's programme and campaign work. In this thematic area, AAG mobilises, organises and supports women and girls to actively participate in decision-making processes and empower them to challenge and reject all forms of gender-based violence, while advocating for gender-responsive policies at the national level. In Ghana, girls and young women are most at risk of gender-based violence, especially sexual violence. Ghana's first legislative interventions against domestic violence (DV) reflected the global efforts in pushing for women's rights to be recognised as human rights. The Government of Ghana has enacted several national laws to protect women's rights and outlaw violence against women and girls. The Government has also put in place a range of policy and institutional mechanisms to protect girls and women from violence, including the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DoVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service. This study, assesses 10 districts/municipal offices of DoVVSU in the Greater Accra Region and ascertain how DoVVSU set-ups provide safe spaces for survivors and how these offices are operationally resourced. --
