Violence Against Women

IBWPPI works to reduce all forms of gender-based violence, primarily focusing on violence within intimate relationships.

Life is good! It is only our thoughts, choices and actions towards the situations we meet in life each moment of time that makes life look bad! The same bad situation in life that makes one person think badly inspires another to do a noble thing! The same good situation in life that makes one person feel so good to get into a bad situation inspires another person to create another good situation because of the good situation. It is all about thoughts, choices and actions! Life is good! Live it well!”
― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
