How many more lives must be lost before decisive action is taken?\u201d he posed.<\/p>\n
The incident, as narrated by a house manager who witnessed the events, has sparked outrage and renewed calls for accountability, protection of victims, and stricter enforcement of the law against perpetrators of domestic abuse. The victim had reportedly raised concerns about threats to her life on multiple occasions, highlighting gaps in the protection systems meant to safeguard vulnerable individuals.<\/p>\n

He also called on the government, law enforcement agencies, and civil society organizations to strengthen mechanisms for early intervention, victim protection, and public awareness. \u201cSilence is no longer an option. We must all take responsibility \u2014 as leaders, as citizens, and as a society \u2014 to end this cycle of violence,\u201d Sonko added.<\/p>\n
The tragic incident has once again brought to the forefront the urgent need for comprehensive measures to combat gender-based violence and ensure justice for victims across the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
