Harmful socio-cultural norms in Ghana perpetuate high levels of SGBV against women and girls. It is considered normal for men to control women, inter-marital violence is also seen as private and survivors of SGBV face stigma. Often, women are not aware of their SRHR and are not able to claim them. Other barriers that prevent them from receiving support and justice when experiencing SGBV are costs associated with accessing these services including travel expenses and time,and lack of anonymity.
