Domestic violence in Ghana

Protests against domestic violence in rural Africa

Domestic violence is prevalent in Ghana,[1] owing in part to a deep cultural belief that it is socially acceptable for men to discipline their wives physically.[2][3][4][5] Around one in three women in Ghana are likely to experience domestic violence.[6]
