BETWEEN 2010 and 2024, 33,489 domestic violence reports were made to the police.
Within this time-frame, 443 murders and murder-suicides occurring within a domestic context were also recorded.
Head of the Assembly of Southern Lawyers Saira Lakhan yesterday reported these statistics during a news conference hosted by attorney Prakash Ramadhar in San Fernando. Addressing the scourge of domestic violence, Lakhan said data compiled by the Central Statistical Office from police records reflected a sustained and deeply entrenched pattern of domestic conflict across the country.
