The Ministry of police should improve and strengthen existing laws and their

implementation to curb IPV. Police should be trained and sensitised about

Intimate Partner Violence (World Health Organisation, 2012: 9). IPV survivors

are often hesitant to disclose their situation, due to stigma. Many have had bad

experiences with service providers who fail to detect their problem or deny that it

exists (Joyner, Rees & Honikman, 2015). The service providers who fail to detect

or accept Intimate Partner Violence include the police. IOL (2019) stressed the

need for decisive action. Decisive action would entail appropriate training for

police officers, to enable them to “sensitively and objectively” investigate

incidents of gender-based violence.
