Advocacy
for Better Implementation of Women's
Rights in Ghana

Implementation of Women’s Rights
in West Africa.”
Violence
Against Women
This paper addresses
some of the factors underlying violence,
the different forms of violence, consequences
or impacts of violence and what can
be done as front line practitioners
to deal with victims of violence.
"Violence Against
Women Through the Eyes of a Child"
was published in 2004 featuring art
work produced by first cycle students
and launched as part of the 16 Days
of Activism on Violence Against Women.
The rationale of the art competition
was to find out how the youth conceptualised
violence against women. The project
was designed to create awareness of
social injustices meted out to women,
educate the public to desist from acts
of violence against women, and create
awareness for gender equity to ensure
peaceful co-existence between men and
women.
