Core labour standards in Ghana
28 Jan '08
2 min read
The legislation against trafficking of people is enforced poorly and children and women, in particular, are exposed to forced labour practices. Boys are trafficked to work in small mines and fishing communities, and girls to work as domestic helpers and assistants.
Despite the fact that the national legislation in force bans discrimination, the practice is common in Ghana. There is no law against sexual harassment at the workplace.
The report ends with a summary of recommendations and conclusions addressed to the government of Ghana if it is to redress its non compliance with the ILO core labour standards and implement effective policies that could tackle many major problems the country is confronted today.
