Accra, Ghana – MUYAD Social Services has petitioned the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, calling on him to reconsider his position on the Wesley Girls SHS religious discrimination court case.
In a statement issued on November 25, 2025, the Executive Council of MUYAD Social Services expressed concern over the Attorney General’s argument that Wesley Girls SHS has the right to practice its Methodist Christian faith and prevent other religious practices.
The organization believes that the Attorney General’s stance could undermine the principles of equality and freedom of religion enshrined in Ghana’s constitution. MUYAD Social Services is urging the Attorney General to prioritize dialogue, inclusivity, and respect for diverse beliefs, ensuring that everyone can practice their faith freely without infringing on others’ rights.
“We believe that, as a democrat, you should be championing social cohesion where every individual has the right to freedom of religion and practice their faith without restriction or coercion,” the statement read.
The petition also highlighted the potential consequences of restricting religious practices, warning that it could lead to a polarized society.
MUYAD Social Services is calling for an out-of-court settlement and a swift retraction of the Attorney General’s stance, emphasizing the need to protect national interest and cohesion.
The petition has been copied to the Office of the President, the Chief Justice, the National Democratic Congress, the National Chief Imam, and the National Peace Council, among others.
