The government will build safe houses for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence in all 16 regions of Ghana. This plan was announced by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection.
These shelters will provide specialized protection and support for victims. The initiative aims to make these services available across the entire country.
The Gender Ministry is leading the effort to create these safe spaces. The goal is to ensure survivors have access to help wherever they live.
This expansion is part of a broader strategy to combat sexual and gender-based violence in Ghana.
