Two instructional resources for preventing crime have been released by an advocacy organization, which is intensifying its campaign against infringement of human rights.
These flyers list certain specific crimes that are related to domestic and sexual abuse and violence, along with their maximum prison sentences.
Additionally, there is the safe book “Say No to Child Abuse,” which is appropriate for kids ages four to nine.
Thus, Ohenewaa Human Rights Advocacy has appealed to the general public for help on the project.
Ms. Afful demanded that the State undertake the provisions of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (ACT 732) regarding the provision of free medical care to victims of abuse.
According to her, “the whole abuse issue has been neglected” and that “there was no budgetary allocation for that,” which means victims must pay for their own hospital stays.
She thought that more people would be served by the new materials, such as market men and women, head potters, trotro and taxi drivers, kids from upper primary to senior high school, and any other group that her previous preventive crime educational materials had failed to include.
“Everyone should work to stop abuse, violence, and crime.” Additionally, we ask everyone to report any incidents of abuse or violence to the Ghana Police Service (GPS), as required by Ghanaian law.
