Underscoring the importance of providing a safe, secure and confidential space for survivors of domestic violence to report complaints and seek protection from the courts, the Judiciary yesterday opened domestic violence interview and virtual hearing rooms at the Leonora and Wales Magistrate’s Courts.
Speaking at the ceremony held yesterday afternoon at the Leonora Magistrate’s Court, acting Chancellor of the Judiciary, Justice Yonette Cummings-Edwards said that the rooms would undoubtedly provide a more discrete space for victims’ interaction with the judicial system.
