We hold strong that the realization of Civil, Political, Digital, Environmental and Economic Rights strengthens democracy, while the realization of social and cultural rights would ensure that the Ghanaian society is fairer and more cohesive. It is through the work of HRDs, including human rights monitoring and advocacy efforts, that state authorities obtain a clearer and more realistic picture of how citizens are able to exercise the rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in international treaties and Ghana’s Constitution.
Our human rights works span across key areas including but not limited to:
- Digital Rights for Women and Girls with Disabilities- seeking access to ICT education, employment opportunities, public and private services
- Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights SRHR- Seeking abolition of harmful laws and practices that dehumanizes women and girls
- Social and political Rights- taking on systems that pose barriers to women and girls participation in decision making or that minimizes their potentials to compete with their male counterparts
- Environmental Rights- challenging environmental degradation that undercut women’s livelihood such as mining, chemical disposals, toxic emissions, forceful evasions from their farmlands
