Justice elusive but victim of violence vows to keep trying

“I don’t know how to feel but the matter get dismiss on the same day when was International Women’s Day. The magistrate say no evidence but the matter get dismiss because of the prosecution, they didn’t present the case properly and did not call witnesses. I don’t want him to get away with this thing because he could do it again and I want justice. I report it and went through but yet I didn’t get justice,” she said and as she spoke tears came to her eyes.

She paused then and asked me if I thought it was fair. I shook my head indicating that I did not think it was.

It was obvious that 24-year-old Malacia Browne was hurt but she was also very angry that the system which should have helped her had failed her and after our conversation I could not help but agree.
