The African Women Lawyers Association (AWLA) has raised concern about the rise in cases of sexual and domestic violence in the country following the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Association’s Executive Director, Edna Kuma in a signed statement on Thursday called for justice for one Lilian Amenuku Dedjo who was allegedly assaulted by her husband, Prince Charles Dedjoe, and died.
Although Madam Kuma commended the Ghana Police Service (GPS) for swiftly arresting the deceased’s husband, she urged that necessary steps needs to be taken to prosecute him.
For her, the perpetrator in the deceased’s case must not go unpunished to serve as a deterrent to others.
