Dear editor,
As a concern citizen of this nation Honiara Solomon Islands, I am writing this letter to draw attention regarding the rapidly increase of issues like domestic violence cases in our communities and country as a whole.
Most of the violence that are happen in our country are basically physical and sexual abuses. This situation was occurred due to the disrespected attitudes, not enough legal protection and societal regulations that keep going violence.
Having read through the online news and the local media out lets reports have highlighted that every single week there must be a violence case published in the newspaper. This can be done whether physical or sexual abuses that continue to affects women and girls regularly in our society today. The effects of this issues will lead to a psychological problem which can be result in complication such as insecurity, depression, anxiety and so on.
Furthermore, domestic violence has become a major issue and most time overlooked by the responsible authorities as it need agent response before it was get worst. On the same note, here are some of the steps or ideas to follow in get addressing this issues as follows, police and legislation must work together and ensure to impose tough penalties to anyone that found committed the crime and our government should increase the funding of victim support services in our local communities.
I urge policy makers, human rights organization and the government to prioritize these issues by raising more awareness to the local communities so that they have clear understanding on this issues and support measures that will lead to tangible improvements. This issue should not blame our responsible authorities to consider but it is our national responsibility to stand in hand and work towards that vision.
