Human rights: Woman abuse an indictment of police – researcher
A SCA ruling in favour of a battered woman who, instead of being helped by the police was turned away and then arrested, sent a strong message to the police that they had a duty to act in protecting women. A report in The Citizen notes that Lisa Vetten, a research associate at the Wits Institute for Social and Economic Research, said the judgment should remind members of the police once again that they have a duty to act in domestic violence cases and that there would be consequences if they failed to do so. As reported previously in Legalbrief Today, the SCA last week set aside an Acting High Court judge’s dismissal of a damages claim by Charmaine Naidoo, of Lenasia, and ordered the Police Minister to pay her R280 000. Vetten said there appeared to be an entrenched reluctance by the police to deal with domestic violence. This was the fourth decision in recent years against the Minister. ‘It shows that from the top the law is being disregarded. It makes one wonder what it says about the attitude further down the ranks,’ the report quotes Vetten as saying.
