Women suffering in abusive relationships have been advised to speak up in order for them to get help rather than keeping silent and enduring the torture that could negatively affect their health and economic fortunes.
They are therefore advised to also report their abusers to the appropriate agencies such as the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service, the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), and the Department of Social Welfare among others for support in addressing the issue.
Mr Umar Yakubu Yaarun, the Nadowli-Kaleo District Director of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) gave the advice during a community forum on Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Girls (EROP) at Sankana in the district.

Support women who offer themselves for leadership positions Assembly Member
April 20, 2021 Mr Mwinterebo addressing members of the community
The Assembly Member for the Goriyiri Electoral Area in the Nadowli/Kaleo District of the Upper West Region, Nestor Mwinterebo, has appealed to communities to support and assist women who courageously offer themselves to be elected to occupy leadership positions.
He said they should even go a step further by encouraging women they know have the capacity to lead and rally behind them to succeed.
Mr Mwinterebo made the appeal during a community forum organised by the Project Support Team of Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Girls (EROP) under the auspices of African Centre for Human Rights and Sustainable Development (AfCHuRSD) at Vogonni in the Nadowli/Kaleo District of the Upper West Region.
