Santo Domingo.-  National District prosecutor Yeni Berenice Reynoso on Monday said she favors stiffer jail terms increase of the pains for femicide convicts and revealed that she’ll work to amend the law in that regard.

So far this year, 52 women have lost their life at the hands of their current or ex partners, and reason behind the Prosecutor’s position, but noted that more important than that is a heightened effort to prevent the crime.

“There are two basic questions regarding femicides, one is prevention which has been traditionally worked on, and another is to strengthen the prosecution and the persecution, which the amended or new legislation must include,” she said.

The official’s statements come one day after Juana Galvez 27 became the most recent femicide, murdered by her ex in the sprawling barrio Los Guaricanos.

Yenny, you are no-longer one of my heros.

Murder is murder, regardless of the gender of the victim or the perpetrator, or their relationship. Gender equality has always been the cry of the feminist movement, and rightly so. Differential sentencing on the basis of gender goes against gender equality.

Also quoting "feminicide" statistics in isolation is emotional dishonesty. 57 women murdered in just under 3 months is shocking and totally unacceptable. However about 460 homicides in the same time is also totally unacceptable too, but is not even mentioned.

As for Moreno, Josean, he is also advocating gender bias in sentencing.

Roy, don’t you think as long as he doesn't steal from generations of Dominican children yet unborn to build METROS while violating the constitution, we can cut him a little slack on this measure?

Murder is Murder.

To punish one more severely because of their Gender or their victim's gender is Pure, Blatant, Chauvinism as well as Sexism

Whats the big deal, so Moreno said something wrong, dont we all say the wrong things at times? Whats the big deal?

So give the man a break, he is the only one among all the candidates that is worth a damn. He is just trying to win some votes. He is a jurist and he knows the law in spite of what he states.

"She is so gorgeous. She must be a Cibaeña especially from Santiago"

I dont know but, I would not exactly describe her as "gorgeous." I think she is very sexy no doubt, nice, cute eyes, but she does have a sort of weird kind of atractiveness with that pudgy, mushkin like face.

Nevertheless, what I really like about her are those lips, just think of the possibilities........
However, as a prosecutor, with that mouth and wet lips, believe me she has got to be a real man eater...............she will chew you up............!

Who ever gets involved with her had better have his pants on right, cause she aint playing around one bit I would watch my balls around her.

And no she was born in Puerto Plata although she grew up in Santiago.

What's wrong with what he wrote? Whoever disagrees should say why.

I couldn't agree more. I was just disappointed he dropped his principals to pander to the Neo-Mcartyists. I guess that's why I'd never make it as a politician.
