#OutofCourtSettlements are abused to the detriment of victims. They don't take into account the issues of power and coercion in sexual offences. Effective remedies in international and regional frameworks include the use of criminal law and sentencing of offenders -Nicolette Naylor

Access to the Court as a form of justice is important for victims for various reasons, the Courts recognition of the victim's rights, the accountability from offenders that Courts require and deter future offenders. - Hon. Justice Njoki Ndungu #endVAW

States must ensure support for access to justice. It's not just access to Courts, it's safety, wellness, healthcare, information that must be ensured as support for the victims of violence ~ Tina Alai #OutOfCourtSettlements #endVaw

The rise of the manosphere and aggravated entitlement are some of the root causes of violence. Victims are often re-traumatised through harmful stereotypes and rape myths prevalent in the justice system. - Dr. Ruth Nekura Ruth Nekura #endVAW

The public must be made aware emphatically that the judiciary has affirmed that no police man should conduct any form of settlements of violence against women cases. - Tina Alai

We need ISLA and other NGOs to bring more public interest litigation in the interest of women’s rights. This case is just one — we need many more. I urge you: keep going, do even more. - Hon. Njoki Ndungu #OutOfCourtSettlements #endVaw

#Accountability the African way must be underpinned by respect, dignity, equality, non-discrimination and challenging of impunity. The privatization of accountability for harms that affect women is not acceptable. #endVAW

We need more conversations like this. The anti-gender and anti-rights movement is working hard to roll back progress — we need to organise, strategise, and push back. ~ Nicolette Naylor #OutOfCourtSettlements #endVAW #ISLAConversations
