Right now, people are only keeping silent about these issues of violence because we have no mechanism that captures the complex situation of the instigators and victims of this form of violence.
Allow me to explain. National tournaments are held in various provinces, and there are international tournaments too. They come under various authorities, and the players sign contracts or agreements that are sometimes at odds with our own laws. Clearly, we need to broaden our vision to facilitate access to justice and redress.
In addition, athletes sign confidentiality agreements. There are lawyers and legal experts behind these practices. All provincial bar associations must therefore commit to better regulating the profession and creating a new branch of law that considers all the implications and ramifications of gender-based violence.
