Se­nior Mul­ti­me­dia Re­porter

PNM Prime Min­is­ter-des­ig­nate Stu­art Young is vow­ing to en­force tougher penal­ties for do­mes­tic vi­o­lence, pledg­ing im­me­di­ate ac­tion to strength­en pro­tec­tions for women once he takes of­fice.

Speak­ing at the Of­fice of the Prime Min­is­ter’s In­ter­na­tion­al Women’s Day Break­fast event on Fri­day, Young said the is­sue must be dealt with frontal­ly, not just on a leg­isla­tive ba­sis, but al­so as a so­ci­ety.
