The Nexus Between Socio-cultural Beliefs and Fundamental Human Rights Abuse Amongst Victims of Witches’ Accusations in Rural Communities in the Northern Part of Ghana
Ghana, as a member of the United Nations, is a signatory to its human rights standards. However, socio-cultural belief systems in Ghana, such as witchcraft accusations, show some divergence between socio-cultural belief systems and the modern concept of human rights. This study sought to critically analyse how socio-cultural belief systems relate, contradict and trample on the fundamental human rights of persons accused of witchcraft practices. T…
The evolving role of Ghanaian hospital social workers
Hospital social workers in Ghana complement the work of other health professionals in addressing patients’ needs. However, their contributions are constrained by systemic challenges, including unclear role definitions, limited recognition, and insufficient resources. This exploratory qualitative study explores the experiences of hospital social workers across various Ghanaian hospitals. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with e…
Hybrid masculinity in early childcare
Men’s identity and daily survival appear to be restricted and stereotyped in society. Men and boys are socialized to be excluded from breastfeeding, complementary feeding, child bathing, cleaning, care for umbilical, and sleeping arrangement childcare activities and identified as providers for the family in Ghana. This paper seeks to explore how hybrid masculinity is being created by first-time fathers in Oforikrom Municipality, Ghana. Using a ca…
Housing conditions and long-term care needs of older adults in Ghana
The present study examined the association between housing conditions and long-term care needs of older adults in Ghana. We used data from 4,920 adults aged ≥50 years that participated in the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) Study on adult health and AGEing Ghana Wave 1. Housing conditions were assessed with drinking water, sanitation, cooking conditions and building materials, and long-term care needs were based on WHO Disability Assessment Sch…
Crimes of accommodation
The paper bridges the gap in criminological research on the impact of work systems and conditions on working-class drivers’ commitment to road traffic laws in Africa. Drawing on interviews and focus group discussions with ‘Tro-Tro’ drivers in Ghana, the study shows that, while unquestionably concerning, transgressive driving behaviors (e.g. over-speeding, and dangerous overtaking) are necessary for minibus drivers to cope with the adversities str…
Modeling the Structural Effects of Residential Instability, Family Disruptions, and Social Support on Neighborhood Crime Perceptions
Drawing on the tenets of Social Disorganization Theory, we model the effects of neighborhood structural correlates on neighborhood crime perceptions in two urbanized Ghanaian communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Using 500 responses from a cross-sectional survey of 100 households, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Model (PLS-SEM) is used to test a hypothesized model that incorporates measures of Residential Instability, Family Disruption, So…
Inclusive Education

In this study, we collected data from 23 visually impaired students, 27 students without disabilities, and 19 teachers in the inclusive school. …
