Hon members, I think the challenge arises precisely because, in a domestic situation, the perpetrator and the victim are often people who are related. Certainly, in African communities, this is what happens: In families, once there's abuse of whatever kind, the uncles, aunts and other family members come to the fore and mediate. In the majority of cases they advise against such incidents being reported to law enforcement units. They tend to treat it more as an internal family matter, under the illusion that the prestige and good name of the family would be dragged through the mud by bringing such incidents into the open. I think that is what tends to blunt the effectiveness of this Act. Thank you.
