Other than information provided in Response
to Information Request GHA19965.E of 23 March 1995, information on
FIDA-Ghana and its activities is scarce.
A 27 December 1991 Inter Press Service
(IPS) report states that the Ghana Federation of Women Lawyers
(FIDA-Ghana) has a legal aid program for women. However, the
article also states that none of the women's organizations in Ghana
are as powerful as the December Women's Movement (DWM) headed by
Nana Agyeman Rawlings, the wife of the President (ibid.). This
source does not report on the activities of FIDA-Ghana. Additional
information on FIDA-Ghana could not be found among the sources
currently available to the DIRB.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum. Please find attached the list of
additional sources consulted in researching this Information
Request.
