We're going to have to study everything relating to the laws concerning judgments in spousal violence and sexual violence cases. The perpetrator of the violence has to be held accountable. At present, women who are victims of violence are often the ones called to testify in court. Then they have to tell their stories multiple times, and it is very difficult for them. So these women need to be given help from the beginning to the end of the judicial process.
In addition, the media have to raise awareness of spousal violence in the way they talk about things. The media must not spin violent situations into fairy tales. It is also very important to use the real terminology. In fact, we have seen changes since we started using the word "femicide" instead of "homicide", about five years ago. So it really hasn't been that long.
Education is also very important. We really have to educate our young men about the idea of power. Men have to stop exercising power over their spouses. It's unfortunate, and that really isn't what love is.
