Categories: Caribbean, Martinique, Governance, Health, Law, Women & Gender

Bien Vu deplores (Fr) 15 recent cases of women set afire by their husbands [1] in Martinique. Some have been severely injured, others have died reports the blogger. He says: “even after the perpetrators have been found guilty, they remain a danger to their wives. We hope to see these individuals incarcerated for long periods of time in order to eradicate an indignant and revolting trend.”
