It underscores the collective responsibility of communities, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers to ensure the safety and security of every individual, especially women and children.
As the nation reflects on this verdict, it serves as a solemn reminder of the long road ahead in the battle against gender-based violence and the imperative of fostering a culture of respect, equality, and justice for all.
