The African Women Leaders Network (AWLN) Ghana Chapter has issued a strong condemnation of a disturbing incident captured on video showing a man violently assaulting his naked wife in a suburb of Accra. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The group described the act as \u201cbarbaric, dehumanizing, and a direct violation of the woman\u2019s dignity and rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a statement signed by the Chapter Chairperson, Dr. Charity Binka, AWLN Ghana said the incident adds to growing concerns about escalating cases of violence against women and girls in the country.<\/p>\n

The organisation referenced the recent Akyempim tragedy\u2014where a man allegedly killed his wife and six children by locking them in their home and setting it ablaze\u2014as evidence of a worrying trend that has now become \u201ca national emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese atrocities are not isolated incidents,\u201d the statement read. \u201cThey reflect a deeply entrenched culture of silence, impunity, and normalization of violence within homes that should be places of safety, not danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

AWLN Ghana urged the Ghana Police Service to treat the latest assault as a serious criminal matter, not a domestic dispute, and to ensure the perpetrator is swiftly prosecuted.<\/p>\n

The group called on the police to apply the same urgency used in handling high-profile cases.<\/p>\n

The network outlined several urgent actions for authorities to, among other things, prioritise domestic violence cases and ensure swift responses, victim protection, and offender accountability, fully implement the Whistleblower Act (Act 720) to encourage reporting, rather than merely recording and circulating violent incidents.<\/p>\n

In addition, the government must intensify public education on the Domestic Violence Act (Act 732) and strengthen community-level prevention programmes and as well as expand access to safe shelters, counselling, and practical support for women trapped in abusive homes.<\/p>\n

AWLN Ghana also appealed to neighbours, traditional leaders, religious figures, families, and communities to reject the notion that domestic violence is a private issue. \u201cGender-based violence is a community threat. Silence enables abuse,\u201d the statement emphasized.<\/p>\n

The organisation reaffirmed its solidarity with survivors and called for stronger collaboration among government agencies, civil society, traditional authorities, faith leaders and the media to safeguard women and girls across the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cViolence against women is not a private matter,\u201d AWLN Ghana stressed. \u201cIt is a national crisis that must be confronted with urgency and seriousness.\u201d<\/p>\n
