WiLDAF coordinates the compilation and exchange of a wide range of studies and reports which address the status of women and girls in Ghana. These studies provide a basis for further action and advocacy. We conduct research into the effectiveness of existing mechanisms designed to protect women's rights, and evaluate law and policy reforms that may better protect and promote the rights of women and ensure their increased participation in public life. 
This research is undertaken at both the local and national levels on identified topics that influence policy. WiLDAF has carried out research on Maintenance of Children, Women and Land in the Volta Region, and Case Studies on Effective Implementation of Women’s Rights in West Africa, among others. Research sheds light on the situation on the ground for women and provides a basis for future action and advocacy.
In 2005-2007, WiLDAF Ghana will commissioned papers on topical issues of concern to women. Experts were requested to analyse legislation and policies from a gender perspective. These papers were published as monographs as part of WiLDAF Ghana 's advocacy tools, please visit our Resources to learn more about our research and published work.
