UNICEF, in collaboration with the Judiciary, on Friday hosted a forum aimed at sensitising media operatives on the importance of providing fair, balanced and accurate reportage on domestic and sexual abuse cases.
Acting Chief Justice Roxane George-Wiltshire SC, in delivering brief remarks at the forum, said that as the fourth estate, the media has an important role to play in what can now be regarded as a digital era, where news and information is constantly instant.
Against this background, she said it becomes all the more important that there is fair and accurate, as well as sensitive reporting of sexual offences and domestic violence cases which fall into the category of gender-based violence.
