Some people think I'm being inflammatory when I say the gov't isn't moving on #MaritalRape because it doesn't care about women and both includes and relies on rapists for support. See today's @Tribune242 headline about a RAPIST MP for a horrible reality check.
News story after news story about gender-based violence against women, and the Government of The Bahamas REFUSES to take action. A few MPs or senators may make a useless statement about their sadness or shock and the need to do something, but nothing more. No bills tabled.
Years of work have resulted in development of plans and policies, draft bills, and programs. Administration after administration, and NOTHING.
It's important to know that the lack of action is not due to lack of information or solutions. It is lack of political will. Inaction.

Mother's testimony , cross examination, five years of appeals and behind the scenes negotiations , finally the innocent accused walked free.
We see many many cases where wife accuses in-laws of dowry harassment, domestic violence, sexual abuse etc.

#SupremeCourt hears the petition filed by a husband challenging the Karnataka High Court’s judgment earlier this year that upheld a Sessions court order framing a rape charge against the man for allegedly raping his wife
