Listen "Ghana's Missing Sex Offender Registry"
Episode Synopsis
This episode discusses Ghana's plan to create a sex offender registry, initially announced in 2020 by the Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit (DOVVSU) to track convicted individuals and deter future crimes. Despite the announcement, there has been no public update on the registry's development or launch date as of June 2025. The article contrasts this with other African nations like South Africa, Kenya, and Nigeria that have implemented or are establishing similar sex offender databases, suggesting Ghana may be considering these models.Read all our stories at labarijournal.com Hosted on Acast.
