Kachale is right. Victims of domestic abuse should not withdraw cases. Women should leave abusive men. The courts are there to bring justice.

IF VIOLATION AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN IS 60%, WHO SHOULDERS THE 40%? POSSIBLY IT’S MEN WHO SUFFER IN SILENCE. DON’T BE IGNORANT OF THIS. TELL THOSE THAT ARE FUNDING YOU TO CONSIDER VIOELNCE AGAINST MEN AS WELL.

Men generally suffer in silence out of fear of being branded as weaklings. Easy to believe a woman who claims domestic abuse and easy to ridicule a man claiming the same. That’s society dynamics

It is only the victim who can withdraw the case and nobody else. Now if the victim finds it necessary to withdraw it, who are we to continue with the case? Sometimes madam DPP thinks like a chicken and blasts like a goat. Nkhope ngati Msonda!!

I hope the convictions will b arrived at without evidence. Can you force a victim who is not willing to testify? Isn’t that a abuse on its own?

We should encourage separation and divorce when a woman is abused by a husband. We need to encourage girls to get educated and women to work and do business so that they don’t depend on men. If they are abused they should leave the man straight away.

Is it mor providos for in the law that the complainant can withdraw the Matter as ir were evem ater the charge hás veem reas out? I would Esther suggest that tou push for a revise of that provision só that ir is mor esse as it is in ita presente form. My proposal would be to limit the class of complaints forming the basis of cases amounting to misdemeanours as that class of cases that can be withdrawn by complainants.
