Discussions focused on gender transformative approaches, affirmative action as a tool for addressing gender inequalities and GBV, and the prevalence of GBV and teenage pregnancy in the South Tongu District.

The hearing also provided a safe platform for voluntary survivor testimonies and community perspectives, highlighting the lived realities of GBV and the urgent need for stronger prevention, protection, referral and support mechanisms for survivors.

The engagement reaffirmed the shared commitment of CHRAJ and UNFPA to advancing human rights, gender equality and access to justice, while strengthening community-led action to prevent and respond to gender-based violence.

The Commission remains committed to working with partners and communities to ensure that everyone can live with dignity, equality and freedom from violence.

The Commission and the Office of the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice engaged Parliament of Ghanaโ€™s Joint Human Rights and Economy & Development Committees on Ghanaโ€™s National Action Plan on Business and Human Rights (NAP-BHR).

The engagement provided an opportunity to brief Parliament of Ghana on the NAP-BHRโ€™s implementation framework, priorities and roadmap, while addressing key issues around accountability, corporate responsibility, vulnerable groups, environmental impacts and effective grievance mechanisms.

Members of the Committee agreed to recommend the adoption of the NAP-BHR as a national policy framework, marking an important step towards strengthening responsible business conduct and advancing human rights in Ghana.
