The African Commission of Health and Human Rights Promoters (CAPSDH) has described as shameful the murder of 30 women within the Greater Accra Region over the last three years. A statement issued in Accra and signed by Dr. Edmund N. Delle, Managing Director, said it is disgraceful and unacceptable that 30 women have been brutally murdered in the nation's capital.

"They have been deprived of their right to life and their families have been made to endure the unnecessary suffering of their loss." The Commission therefore called on the police and the government to move with haste to find those responsible and prosecute them. The statement said there should be no hasty arrests or denial of due process of right for the accused, any of which would invoke an abuse of right, which would allow the guilty party or parties to go free.

"It is highly disturbing that no clear and tangible progress has been made on this case. It must be borne in mind that these crimes are making justice in this case a matter not only of public responsibility but also of gender equality in Ghana."
