| | The subject of violence against women is one that is hardly discussed in Ghana. Although acts of violence within society are not sex-specific, there are specific acts (such as rape and wife-beating) which only have female victims. Moreover, even where attempts have been made to address particular instances of violence against women, the differing definitions of violence, different laws, the attitudes of law enforcement agents (especially regarding domestic violence), and societal norms make application difficult and women especially vulnerable. |
