Description: Ghana confronts high prevalence of gender-based violence, with 30% of women experiencing sexual violence and 27% physical abuse. Cultural norms and low help-seeking rates (38%) perpetuate the issue, though data shows a decline in physical violence from 37% to 33% since 2008. Addressing systemic barriers and advancing victim support remain critical for eradicating violence against women.
