Witchcraft accusations and older adults
In Africa, witch doctors are consulted not only for healing diseases, but also for invoking curses. There has been a paradigm shift involving the types of people often accused of using witchcraft in response to the changing political, economic, and social landscape, and the most affected group is older adults. While efforts are being made to eliminate accusations and lynching, little attention is paid to understanding the experiences of accused o…
The Weight of Expectations
Field Application of Sharing Circles (SCs) in Rural Anti-exploitation Research
In rural sub-Saharan African communities, researchers often struggle to balance active participation with respect for community members' livelihood time. This article reflects on my step-by-step fieldwork experience with Sharing Circles, a method that proved effective in facilitating meaningful community engagement without imposing on participants' daily routines. Unlike conventional approaches that may disrupt agricultural or family responsibili…

In this study, we investigate the factors that contribute to the discontinuity of education when girls marry as children. Using semi‐structured qualitative interviews, we gathered the views of 11 girls with experience in child marriages in Ghana. Narratives were analysed thematically following reflexive thematic analysis procedures. The study identified: (1) Insistence of husbands for girls to stay at home (2) Stigmatization and ridicule (3) Stre…
Parents’ Reflections on Child Trafficking Mitigation Mechanisms in Trafficking Hotspot Communities

In Ghana, children are largely trafficked from rural communities into resource-prone areas to engage in intensive labour activities. This study explores the views of parents in communities where children are largely trafficked, on the best ways to intervene in child trafficking cases. In-depth interviews were conducte…
Safeguarding the welfare of refugee children in Ghana
Structural Patterns That Facilitate the Trafficking of Children
Trafficked children are plagued with a complexity of issues that impede their overall growth and development. As an at-risk population, several factors contribute to the trafficking of children. Although this study recognizes that poverty is a predisposing cause of child trafficking in Ghana, it goes beyond to explore the experiences of practitioners involved in child trafficking interventions on other structural patterns that contribute to child…

This inhibits their efforts to efficiently care for, and safeguard the welfare of the autistic children. Therefore, this qualitative study, through in-depth interviews with 15 single mothers caring for ASD children in Ghana, presents findings on …

Incarceration comes with enormous role changes as left-behind spouses strive to adjust to daily living and survival. Consequently, this study explores the experiences of left-behind spouses as they strive to live their new lives without their partners, and to identify prevailing setbacks to draw practice implications. Evidence was collected through semi-structured qualitative interviews with 25 left-behind spouses of inmates in Nsawam Medium Secu…
I don’t think anyone thinks of us’
In Ghana, a population of teenage head porters have made the streets their sole living and breathing space. They are faced with several challenges as they live and work on the streets. The era of COVID-19 amidst several safety protocols that should be followed including maintaining physical and social distance as well as reducing movements appears to be detrimental to the survival patterns of teenager head porters as they live and work on the str…
