A delegation from the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service has paid a courtesy call on the leadership of Channel One TV and Citi FM, as part of efforts to deepen collaboration in the fight against gender-based violence.
The visit, which took place on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, aimed to foster stronger partnerships in public education and advocacy, particularly on issues affecting women, girls, and other vulnerable groups.
Led by DOVVSU Director ACP Owusuwaa Kyeremeh, the delegation included Sergeant Korkor Elizabeth Amoani, Constable George Ahiable, and David Owusu Ansah. They were warmly received by the station’s management team, led by Head of News, Vivian Kai Lokko.
Other members present included Business Development Manager Omane Mensah-Bonsu, Head of Radio Programmes Richard Mensah, Head of TV Programmes Apiorkor Ashong-Abbey, Human Resource Manager Jennifer Anane Nsiah, and Head of Sales, Francis Degbor.
During the meeting, ACP Kyeremeh reiterated DOVVSU’s unwavering commitment to building safer communities across Ghana, with a focus on protecting women and girls. She outlined the Unit’s ongoing initiatives and called for sustained media collaboration.
“We are paying a courtesy call on your media house to see how best we can collaborate in the fight against gender-based violence and also to let you in on the activities we have undertaken so far,” she said.
“Fortunately, we have the privilege of letting you be on board with us, covering some of our activities and going forward, how best do we collaborate to ensure that the communities within Ghana are safer for our girls, our women and for any other person,” ACP Kyeremeh added.
In response, Vivian Kai Lokko affirmed the station’s commitment to partnering with institutions like DOVVSU in promoting human rights and protecting families.
“We are happy working with institutions like yours because of the immense benefits it offers to us and our listenership. We are a media house that prides itself to love families and believe in the family unit system,” she said.
“So we will love to partner you in all the activities you have coming up and partner you as an institution as well to help push or put together the narratives that you want to put out there in terms of support for families, the less privileged and those who need help,” she added.
The meeting concluded with both parties expressing optimism about future collaboration to advance the shared goal of ending gender-based violence and empowering vulnerable populations.
