Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) leader Edith Nawakwi has appealed to government to criminalize gender based violence cases.

Ms Nawakwi has told Qfm News that the lengthy process of reporting gender based violence cases discourages many to report them to the Police allowing the perpetrators to go scot free and continue abusing others.

Ms. Nawakwi says there is need for government to consider reviewing the steps of reporting gender based violence cases without delay.

She notes that currently, cases of gender based violence are not receiving the much needed attention despite the many pronouncements by government and other civil society organizations to have the perpetrators punished.

The FDD leader says it will only be appropriate if cases of gender based violence are criminalized and the process of reporting such cases simplified in order to deter would be perpetrators.
