Abstract

Climate change is not just an environmental risk but also a multiplier of gender-based violence (GBV), especially among impoverished communities that have been displaced and lack access to effective legal remedies. The research explores how environmental stresses such as floods, drought, and forced migration of communities amplify GBV in Sub-Saharan African and Southeast Asian climate-exposed areas. It also deals with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhancing legal systems, risk pattern detection, and building gender-sensitive climate resilience. Using a qualitative socio-legal methodology, the study combines doctrinal legal analysis, feminist legal theory, and artificial intelligence tools like natural language processing (NLP) in analyzing public discourse, identifying policy gaps, and evaluating regulatory gaps. The key findings report increases in domestic violence, sexual exploitation, child marriage, and trafficking during the climate disasters, especially during the recovery phases. Although AI has promise in monitoring GBV trends online and in revealing policy blind spots on climate, ethical concerns are raised, especially around accessibility, surveillance concerns, and cultural exclusion. The study demands integrating GBV safeguards into climate adaptation legislation, codesign of moral AI systems with at-risk consumers, and binding international law to prevent GBV in the aftermath of disasters. It offers a rights model that connects gender justice, legal reform, and ethical application of AI.

Abstract

Accusations of witchcraft in Ghana are still causing forced displacement and severe human rights violations in impoverished, aging women, and other disadvantaged persons. This research is a sociolegal examination of the legal reaction to the protracted crisis in Ghana. Assisted by doctrinal methodology, this article critically examines Ghana's 1992 Constitution, the Criminal Offences Act, 1960 (Act 29), and the Criminal Offences (Amendment) Bill, 2022, against relevant international human rights obligations under the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights and the ICCPR. To effectively implement the law, this study employs qualitative data gathered from eight lengthy interviews with survivors, representatives of civil society, religious and traditional leaders, and policymakers. The research indicates that the current criminal law of Ghana offers no clear assurances against unfounded accusations of witchcraft; the bill, nevertheless, makes an effort to close the legislative lacuna by designating malicious accusations as an offence, which is punishable with imprisonment and compulsory compensation. The development has been long due to fostering essential rights relating to security, dignity, and non-discrimination. However, the delay in presidential assent highlights the necessity for continued advocacy. This research demonstrates that the passage of criminalization, alongside systemic reforms, police training, community sensitization programs, and reintegration assistance, is key to bringing forced internment to an end and making Ghana's domestic law consistent with its constitutional obligation and international human rights commitment.
