The Presidential Taskforce on Femicide and Gender-Based Violence has decried legal gaps hindering the group from conducting its duties.
While speaking on Thursday, May 22, the task force explained the lack of a specific law on femicide as a major challenge in handling femicide cases in the country. "We have done our desk research, and we have noted there is no legal framework or law on femicide.
What is defined in the law is murder.
That is under the Penal Code and under the Criminal Procedure Code," the task force stated.
