Santo Domingo.– President Leonel Fernandez condenmed Friday the wave of femicides in the country and he suggested, if necessary, to reassess and make amendments to policies, in order to prevent these acts of bloodshed.

"If those policies have failed, we must submit them to an examination, and on that basis we have to make the necessary adjustments. We can not consider ourselves defeated," the president said in an interview on the steps of the National Palace.

Fernandez was adamant in defending the contributions of the government to prevent the killing of women and pointed out that thanks to the measures implemented, the femicides are less.

Women are still treated as property in many areas and not taken seriously by police.Also our extreme corruption of the police and justice system make it difficult for women who are victimized to get justice. It is difficult for anyone to get justice for that matter without paying for it.

Not exactly the making of a civilized country.

When the government does not provide for its people, the people have a right to change that government and install a new government by and for the people.

"wave of femicides"
"femicides are less"
Contradiction?
So the "wave" of femicides needs to be addressed but the much bigger tsunami of homocides doesn't?

After 12 of the last 16 years under PURPLE DOMINATION here are some of the results:


“More brothels than schools in the Dominican Republic”


SANTO DOMINGO - The Coordinator of “Youth Ministry,” father Luis Rosario, stated that "in the country there are more brothels than schools".

Rosario said that the media is essential in the education of youth and society, where sexuality is sold as something unimportant.

Interviewed on the program "Extraordinary Souls” that is broadcasted by ONTV channel 10, the priest said that homosexuality is not a genetic matter but education.

In that regard, he said that "more than a choice it is confusion that often is a product of abuse in childhood or adolescence".

He called on the Government to review the programs for the prevention of early pregnancies.

"The methods that are used in the prevention of pregnancy in adolescence only cause that young people feel that their actions will not have consequences, resulting in a lack of sexual control", he said.

I agree with you sir 100%, if our government fails to deliver, it is up to us to take action, but unfotunately we are dormant as a people.
