CARD Launches New Advocacy Action to Confront Online Sexual Abuse in Northern Ghana

The Cooperative Agency for Research and Development (CARD) is pleased to announce the launch of a new advocacy action aimed at addressing Technology-Facilitated Sexual Violence (TFSV) affecting women and girls in rural communities in northern Ghana.

This action is supported by the Get Up Rise Up: Direct Action Fund, implemented by Beautiful Trouble, which backs grassroots, nonviolent, and creative actions advancing justice, dignity, and accountability.

Through this initiative, CARD seeks to:

• Raise public awareness about online sexual abuse and digital harassment
• Amplify survivor voices without exposing identities or causing harm
• Demand survivor-friendly reporting systems and rapid response from local authorities
• Strengthen community accountability and protection for women and girls

The action forms part of CARD’s ongoing Safe Screens, Safe Lives campaign, which works to ensure that rural women and girls can live free from violence—both offline and online.

CARD remains committed to ethical advocacy, survivor safety, and nonviolent action. No identifying information of survivors will be shared at any stage of this initiative.
