- 0800 800 800
- 0800 900 900

The minister further disclosed that the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection is working closely with the Ministry of Education to support affected individuals and address issues arising from the case.
She revealed that some women have already reached out and assured that all developments are being handled with strict confidentiality.
Those who may feel discouraged from speaking out were encouraged to come forward, with reassurance that the government stands firmly behind them.
Reaffirming government policy, the minister said the administration remains committed to reducing vulnerability and ensuring that no one affected by the recent incident is left without support.
She stressed that any circumstance that exposes citizens to distress or harm will be met with intervention, care and protection.
The minister concluded by assuring victims and their families that help is available and accessible across Ghana, urging all affected persons to seek support without fear, as confidentiality is guaranteed.
