AN­GE­LO JE­DIDI­AH

Head of the In­sti­tute for Gen­der and De­vel­op­ment Stud­ies at the Uni­ver­si­ty of the West In­dies, Dr Sue-Ann Bar­ratt, is re­new­ing calls for swift jus­tice for gen­der-based vi­o­lence vic­tims, cit­ing pub­lic frus­tra­tion with the lack of ac­tion.

Ac­cord­ing to the UWI lec­tur­er, while T&T has laws to pro­tect vic­tims, with­out swift jus­tice and re­li­able en­force­ment, those laws are fail­ing the very peo­ple they were meant to safe­guard.
