Is Negative Stigma Of Males Perpetuating Femicide?

Does Jamaica need to legally distinguish between homicides and femicides? Fifteen countries in the world most of them in Latin America have already enacted laws which requires that the players in the justice system put on a gender lens when they investigate, gather evidence and prosecute the murder of women and girls.

To discuss the prospects of legislative and social change towards the recognition of femicide we are joined by kristina Neil policy and research officer for women’s empowerment for change, Glenroy Murray Human Rights Activist and Public Commentator and Karen Lloyd-Human Rights Activist.
