Beatrice Korsah, the Bono Regional Coordinator of the Domestic Violence Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) has expressed worry about the increasing cases of sexual and gender-based violence and divorce in the region.
“These are happening because many men claimed their wives denied them sex”, she said, and warned that it remained an offence for men to beat or torture their wives for denying them sex.
She also advised victims to report such cases to the police for the necessary action to be taken, until cases worsened.
Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on the sidelines of a skill training workshop in Sunyani, Ms Korsah expressed regret that many men subjected their wives to the worst forms of human rights abuses, but victims failed to report because of fear of divorce and stigmatization.
As India continues to see record COVID-19 case counts, Dr. Prabhat Jha said Canada could have done more to strengthen the global distribution of vaccines.
