Gender activists call for more data on gender-based violence
Gender activists from various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) have called for more data on Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) to strengthen policies and programmes that were geared towards eliminating the menace. They also called for increased funding for specific research findings for action; capacity building in quality and regular data collection for both CSOs and governmental agencies providing leadership, as well as strengthening the collaboration between academia and civil society institutions. The CSOs, including representatives from the Ark Foundation, Women in Law and Development Africa (WiLDAF-Ghana) the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and the African Women Development Fund (AWDF), made their call at a forum in Accra organised by the Gender Studies and Human Rights Documentation Centre, (Gender Centre), as part of activities to mark the 16 Days of Activism against SGBV.
