Little justice for gender-based violence cases in Eswatini

Eswatini has taken great strides in its battle against sexual and gender-based violence . Yet the repressive environment created by the authorities has exacerbated a range of social problems in Eswatini, including the high rates of domestic and gender-based violence.

“For example, under lockdown, there have been many instances of women being subjected to SGBV by their abusive partners, and the survivors were not able to access domestic violence shelters.” Other times, this is because of limited resources such as transport to take survivors to one of three One-Stop Centres. The centres provide healthcare, counselling services, legal aid and try to meet basic needs like clothes, food and housing.

“When a person reports, a person is looking for justice. We need to have the wheel of justice moving fast so that when cases are being reported, at the most the delay is a month and you know the case is gone to court and the case is complete,” she said.
