Women in communities especially within the Sawla -Tuna- Kalba have been urged to take advantage of the processes available under the law to seek remedies for domestic violence.

This was a key aspect of the message delivered by Madam Yofaatey Rose and Abdul Rahaman Wasila , beneficiaries of MasterCard scholarship of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology when they addressed a community seminar at Dani- ur , a rural community in the Sawla-Tuna-Kalba District of the Savannah Region.

The seminar was facilitated by , Elder Daniel Chofugie, Hon.Jonathan Gilbier, Madam Agnes Naamwindoo and was heavily patronized by pupils and women and leadership of the community.

The seminar was held on the theme;”A healthy childhood life, Makes a Brighter Future” Let’s End Domestic Violence.

The facilitators buttressed the session with real- life scenarios and examples of domestic abuse which take the form of physical, emotional and psychological harm.

They proceeded to advise the participants on the right causes of action to take in the event of such abuse being perpetrated on them or witnessed by them.

The participants echoed the sentiments of the community by thanking the organizers for the session.

They noted that they felt empowered to speak up and report cases of abuse.

According to them they have been educated on how to insist on their rights when dealing with authorities.

The organizers Yofaatey Rose and Abdul Rahaman Wasila called for the need to support to shine a light of domestic violence which predominantly affects women, as it has a substantially negative effect on adults and children in the family, with a spill-over effect on progress of the wider community.

Preliminary findings from the 2022 Ghana Demographic and Healthy Survey (GDHS) Report indicate that two in every five (41.6%) women aged 15 to 49 years who have ever had an intimate partner have ever experienced at least one form of intimate partner violence (IPV) thus; emotional, physical, or sexual violence.

In all, 35.2 per cent had experienced emotional violence at least once, 22.7 per cent had experienced physical violence at least once, and 11.2 per cent had experienced sexual violence at least once.

More than half (53.4%) in the Savannah Region had experienced intimate partner violence (IPV), the highest recorded, followed by the Central (44.0%), Ahafo (44.0%), and Volta (43.6%) regions.

The lowest rate of intimate partner violence (IPV ) was recorded in the Bono Region (26.3%).
