Special sexual offences court intensifies anti-GBV battle in Isles
THE establishment of special sexual offences court that deals with gender-based violence (GBV) cases in Zanzibar has encouraged many people to increase efforts to combat violence against children.
The move reduces or eliminates GBV acts which have been accelerating in various parts of Unguja and Pemba in recent years.
The court was established in early February, this year after the Zanzibar President; Dr Hussein Ali Mwinyi realized that women and child abuse cases are on the increase in the Indian Ocean archipelago.
