Organisation Background

Pan African Organisation for Research and Protection of Violence on Women and Children (PAORP-VWC) is a Non-Governmental Human Rights and Development Organisation created on the 05/02/2008 and registered in Ghana on 12th September 2008 under the Registrar General's Department as a Charity no G-25,584.

Though being a charity, we believe in integrated and participatory approaches in promoting meaningful Change that will provide a safer environment for women and children rather than just being charitable to them by providing their basic daily needs of food, Shelter and clothing. PAOR

P-VWC is an Non-Sectarian, Non-Political and Non-Profit-making Organisation out to lobby with policy makers and opinion leaders on behalf of women and children who are the most vulnerable in the society and whose voices are never been taken into consideration when major decisions are to be taken.

PAORP-VWC is the voice of the voiceless pushing its ways across African countries. It founding members are 7 experts' humanitarian professionals drawn from Ghana and Cameroon presently working and living in Ghana. With many years of staff experiences in the field of complex humanitarian emergency across Africa, PAORP-VWC is created to intervene where other organisations may not dare because of the complexity of the crisis. We work using gender sensitive participatory approaches to obtain sustainable solutions to our core values.

PAOR-VWC Area of Jurisdiction

PAORP.VWC has its head quarters in Tamale, in the Northern Region of Ghana. Being at its conceptual phase, PAORP.VWC activities are highly concentrated in the villages and towns within Ghana where violence and worst form of abuse on women and children is on an increase.

Created by professional human right development consultants drawn from many African countries, PAORP-VWC activities will in the near future be extended to other countries within Africa and new offices will be created in those countries to expand on the work of the organization. We are now operational in Cameroon with a country office in Bamenda, North West Province.
