WISE calls for renewed efforts to eradicate violence against women
The Women’s Initiative for Self-Empowerment (WISE), a non-profit organization, on Friday called for renewed efforts and vigorous commitment to the eradication of violence against women and girls.
According to WISE, statistics from the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVSU) indicated that one out of every three women went through abuse hence the need to sensitize people on what to do in fighting the menace.
Madam Adwoa Bame, Executive Director of WISE underscored the need to have a community-based-approach towards the fight, saying, members within the community should take charge, should understand the system and therefore help each other to eradicate violence against women.
