Those were not rights violation cases but family disputes and misunderstandings between persons. The Mediation Department of the commission give opportunities for the parties to ventilate. I think those cases are almost getting to about a hundred at the moment. When we have flagrant violations of fundamental human rights and they are criminal, we escalate them to either the office of the Commissioner of Police or to the Office of the Attorney General. We have had instances of sexual molestation, including rape cases, and we report them to the office of the Commissioner of Police. The office investigated and transferred those it could not handle to the office of the Attorney General. We have cases that are ongoing in court at the moment. We have had some domestic violence where we thought we would be able to settle families so that the marriage could be saved for the benefit of the children. In some instances where we have been unable to save such situations, we have taken such suspects before the court. As of now, we have secured two convictions for domestic violence and some of those cases are still ongoing. We need to let our people know that the law does not allow you to beat up any person. So, for all gender-based violence, once you are arrested, the Gender and Equal Opportunities Commission will ensure you are prosecuted.
