Migration from Ghana to the Gulf States: A scoping review
Evidence shows that Gulf States have become key destinations for Ghanaian migrants, mainly driven by expanding economic prospects and restrictive migration policies in Western countries. However, this increasing trend remains underexplored. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s methodological framework, this study conducted a scoping review of the existing literature on the Ghana–Gulf migration corridor using databases such as Scopus, Google Scholar, S…
Exploring women’s coping strategies to combat suboptimal water access in rural Ghana
Scholarly accounts on the importance and types of adaptive practices for suboptimal water access in Ghana's rural areas, where water inaccessibility persists, are lacking. Conducted in the Kologo rural community in Northern Ghana, known for its severe water insecurity, this study aimed to understand how women manage and adapt to poor water access. An equal number of women (n = 150) and men (n = 150), aged 18 or older, were randomly recruited to p…

I Almost Poisoned Myself’: Understanding the Suicidal Behaviors of Female Survivors of Intimate Partner Violence in Ghana
Despite growing evidence of an increased risk of suicidality among female survivors of intimate partner violence (IPV), no scientific research has explored this topic in Ghana, where male-partner violence is not uncommon. Using thematic analysis to analyze and synthesize 30 in-depth interviews with female survivors in the Eastern Region of Ghana, this study explored the suicidal behaviors of women in abusive intimate relationships. The findings s…
The Little Money I Get Is Used to Buy Drugs”: A Qualitative Exploration of the Economic Cost of Intimate Partner Violence for Female Survivors in Ghana
Empirical research confirms the economic costs of intimate partner violence (IPV) for women. Yet, scholarship on this topic is lacking in Ghana, where IPV against women is commonplace. We used in-depth interviews with 15 female survivors of IPV in the Eastern Region to examine the economic costs of IPV for women. Findings showed that the economic costs were both direct and indirect. Direct costs included out-of-pocket payments for medical and non…

‘Feminization of migration’: The implications for ‘left-behind’ families in Ghana
Research suggests that in sub-Saharan Africa, independent transnational female migration is highly prevalent. Despite this prevalence, scholarship on those who are left behind in the migration process largely focuses on women, and there is little research focusing on transnational female migration and the families these women leave behind. Using a qualitative approach, with the push-pull theory and the new household economics of labour migration …
The coping strategies of Hmen left behindH in the migration process in Ghana
Previous studies report that independent transnational female migration is growing rapidly in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, scholarship on the ‘left-behind’ in the migration process largely focuses on women and children, with little attention paid to men left behind. Using qualitative methods, with Folkman et al.’s coping theory, to examine the coping strategies of men left behind in the migration process in Ghana, this study fills an important resear…
The contribution of non-cash remittances to the welfare of households in the Kassena-Nankana District, Ghana
This study examined the flow of non-cash remittances in the Kassena-Nankana District in Ghana. Twenty in-depth interviews were held with recipients (respondents) of non-cash remittances and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Findings revealed that non-cash remittances were in the form of foodstuff and electronic appliances and they were used for various purposes. The perspectives and experiences of respondents indicate that these tra…
Barriers to Help-Seeking for Sexual Violence Among Married or Cohabiting Women in Ghana
While sexual violence against women has gained attention in sub-Saharan Africa, research examining help-seeking remains limited. Scholarship on barriers to help-seeking among sexually abused married or cohabiting women is particularly lacking. We used the barriers model and held 15 in-depth interviews with sexually abused Ghanaian married or cohabiting women to examine help-seeking behaviors. Participants identified multiple barriers to help-seek…
