The first component of the field study was conducted in communities impacted by mining and oil exploration activities. The communities are Tarkwa, Axim, Atuabo, Eikwe, Nsuta, Cape Three Points, Tebrebe, Wangarakrom, and Badukrom; all in the Western Region. The aim of the study is to establish how well companies in the extractive sector (mining, oil and gas) in Ghana are complying with the Voluntary Principles and the challenges companies and community members face.\n\nDuring the reporting year, the Commission organized 2,966 public education programmes on fundamental human rights and freedoms nationwide. Topics covered included harmful cultural practices (early and forced marriages), torture, right to education and health, child neglect and parental responsibilities, property rights of spouses, child labour, and domestic violence. See the diagram below for the regional distribution of public educational programmes.\n\nThe Commission received and classified 7,523 complaints under its human right mandate in the year 2020 as compared to 8,379 in the previous year.
