Training
The GSHRDC also provides training in many areas such as human rights,
gender, project planning and implementation, lobbying, advocacy, rights
awareness etc. it also assists NGOs to organize workshops and seminars.
In 1997, the Centre co-hosted with the Human
Rights Institute of South Africa (HURISA) an intensive three-week
training in Human Rights here in Ghana.
The Centre, in collaboration with WiLDAF Ghana, also has an on-going training programme for women leaders to do legal education in their various communities. These trained women, who are called Legal Literacy Volunteers (LLVs) are trained on family laws, among which is the Intestate Succession Law, which regulates Intestate Succession in the country. Since women and children are the ones who suffer most at the injustices prevailing under the customary succession, it was found necessary to educate the public generally, but women in particular, on their rights to enable them assert their rights under the law.
