Gender Ministry, CSOs strengthen collaboration to improve response to gender-based violence

The Domestic Violence Secretariat of the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) has held a coordination meeting with civil society organisations (CSOs) and key state institutions to strengthen collaboration in the management and referral of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence (DSGBV) cases.

The meeting also featured presentations from key stakeholder institutions, including sessions on the work of the Domestic Violence Secretariat, the National Policy on Domestic Violence and the Orange Support Centre, all aimed at strengthening Ghana's response to domestic, sexual and gender-based violence.

Participants reviewed challenges affecting the effective management of domestic, sexual and gender-based violence cases and shared practical strategies to improve referral mechanisms and ensure survivors receive coordinated support.
