There is an increasing vulnerability of children to all forms of abuses because of the inequity in children’s rights. These inequities are influenced by such factors as economic status, geographical location, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual identity and ability. The student has the opportunity to get insight in the situation of children in a development country like Ghana.
General overview of the vulnerable state of children and their rights in Ghana. A critical review of the manuscript and policy briefs of rights of children and the state of the Ghanaian child.
Despite what many Ghanaians believe, in Ghana, there is considerable inequity in children’s enjoyment of their rights from region to region and between groups of children. These inequities are influenced by such factors as economic status, geographical location, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual identity and ability.
Is it safe in the African country where I want to go?
Each country is different in terms of safety, but in the countries of our projects normally there is political stability and we are always in close contact with our partners about the situation. Crime differs from country to country and we therefore elaborate on this during our safety preparation before departure. We can never give guarantees, but of course we do everything to make your stay as safe as possible together with the local supervisors.
I would like to go to Africa alone (as a woman), is that possible?
Certainly, but one country/partner project is more suitable than the other. We are happy to give you personal advice on this.
How can I prepare safety wise?
Read about the safety in the country you are going to, also in our brochure. Take the safety advice during the last LGA interview very seriously. Always follow the advice of the local supervisors and rather be too careful than too naive!
