Ghana is at the forefront of the global reparations debate for the transatlantic slave trade, pushing UN recognition, debt relief, and accountability from Western powers and institutions such as the Church of England, while advocating reparatory funding for education, entrepreneurship and health research, and promoting diaspora outreach — though critics warn against commercialising healing and say local needs must not be sidelined.
Former BBC World News anchor Laura Trevelyan has left the broadcaster to confront her family's slave trade legacy and become a "roving advocate for reparatory justice" in the Caribbean. Trevelyan, whose ancestors owned more than 1,000 slaves across six sugar plantations in Grenada, said her professional success was linked to Britain's colonial history. She called on King Charles III to properly confront the British royal family's connection to slavery. Trevelyan said she felt "liberated" to talk about the issue of slavery after leaving the BBC, which holds staff to strict rules on impartiality.
