Women in Ghana March Against Sexual Violence

Stacey Knott

   ACCRA - Dozens of women have marched in the capital of Ghana to protest
   impunity surrounding attacks on women and girls in the West African
   country. The activists added their voices to the global conversation on
   justice for victims of sexual abuse, and holding abusers accountable.

   Protesters marching through Accra - a sign that Ghana's #MeToo movement
   is gaining strength here. Victims of domestic and sexual violence are
   publicly naming abusers, while authorities are being criticized for not
   making the safety of Ghana's women and girls a priority.
