Gender-Based Violence remains a major challenge affecting the enjoyment of human rights, more specifically those of women. Critical steps must be taken to stop the abuse of women and girls. Madam Da-do Yram Pyalo NOVIEKOU, National Coordinator, @WanepTogo #KAIPTC #GBV

Research conducted by the WYPSI in 2020 revealed that the high rate of #GBV in our regions, is due to factors such as lack of capacity of local actors, low conviction rates, lack of evidence, lack of resources and ineffective investigative strategies etc - Maj Gen Gyane. #KAIPTC

Maj Gen Richard Addo Gyane, Commandant, #KAIPTC, says an effective approach to eliminating #GBV has been to re-examine approaches and adopt appropriate strategies that strengths the capacity of local actors to engage in strong advocacy and education at the community level.
