Abstract

Ghanaian divorce law often involves traditional mediation processes that may not adequately address gender-specific issues. Qualitative analysis of existing legal documents, interviews with mediators, and a review of relevant literature on gender-sensitive mediation practices in Ghana. Gender-specific mediation shows promise in reducing conflict but requires more structured guidelines to be effective across all cases. Current gender-specific mediation approaches are valuable but need refinement to ensure equitable outcomes for all parties involved. Recommend the development of comprehensive training programmes for mediators and the integration of gender-sensitive criteria into legal frameworks.
