The Youth Action Movement (YAM), the youth wing of Planned Parenthood Association of Ghana (PPAG), has called on key stakeholders and bodies to help address intimate partner violence among young people in the country.
A former leader of the group, Mrs Dorcas Aggrey says addressing intimate partner violence among young people will help to reduce gender-based violence (GBV) in the country.
She said young people are more vulnerable to intimate partner violence, hence the need to address the situation from among the youth.
Mrs Aggrey was speaking at the 19th annual delegates’ congress of YAM held in Accra on May 13, 2022.
The event, which was on the theme: “Addressing intimate partner violence among young people; a key strategy for reducing gender-based violence,” discussed the causes and challenges associated with SRHR and GBV and how it could be resolved as soon as practicable.
