Amnesty International Ghana Calls For Measures To Protect Women And Child Rights

  Amnesty International Ghana (AI Ghana) has urged the government to institute sufficient measures to protect the rights of women and children. The global human rights body said the inhuman treatment meted out to women in several instances leading to their deaths called for stringent measures to protect their rights. Mentioning the death of Madam Akua Denteh, the 90-year-old woman who was lynched to death last year and spousal abuse leading to the killing of some women in Ghana, it said, pointed to the need for government to strengthen institutions mandated to uphold the rights of women. Mr Samuel Agbotsey, Campaign and Fundraising Manager of Amnesty International Ghana, made the call in an interview with the GNA during a ceremony to launch the annual reports on human rights of Amnesty International for 2020/2021, at Oyoko in the New Juaben North municipality.
