Sunyani, (Bono), June 25, GNA – The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Beatrice Korsah, the Bono Regional Coordinator of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) says the unit remains dedicated to provide justices to all victims of domestic violence, regardless of gender and social status.
In an interview with the media in Sunyani, she called on men and husbands who suffered abuses in the hands of their wives and partners to report to the unit for support and justice.
DSP Korsah indicated that although most women and children suffered domestic violence, some men also went through abuses in their homes.
She expressed worry that some of the men who went through marital abuses often failed to report, partly due to certain misconceptions and societal myths and stigmatization.
DSP Korsah said that the DOVVSU was there for everyone and advised men and husbands in particular to also use their services whenever they experienced physical and emotional violence or forms of maltreatment in their homes.
She said it was unfortunate that some spouses now resorted to the new media and other traditional media outlets to address their marital problems, instead of using the DOVVSU and relevant state institutions.
DSP Korsah urged spouses to refrain from that practice, saying that the DOVVSU had professionals who could assist them with counseling, mediation and other support to sustain their marriages.
