Legislative And Social Change For Recognizing Femicide

What are the prospects of legislative and social change towards the recognition of femicide? Do players in the justice system need to 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 Novelette Grant, Retired Deputy Commissioner of Police and Communications and Advocacy Officer for Womens Empowerment for Change, Tajna Lee Shields.
