This article is based on my personal experience with our judicial system. I feel compelled to make these points because strong families build strong nations and without justice in family law, we all pay the price. I am in no way denying that men also experience some of the same or similar issues.

“What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” has never felt more real. Today, I can say with certainty that I am stronger, wiser, and more equipped to navigate the challenges of life with the ability to call “a spade, a spade” and point out where I see integrity as lacking. These experiences have reshaped the way I think, pushing me to prioritize what truly matters and to make choices that honour my worth.

  1. TWO DAYZ & NOT A SINGLE POST – HOW’S THAT UMPIRE???


  2. Sometimes we grow tired of restating the obvious without any results in sight, that’s all. This submission states the obvious.

    All I can say is, “I agree!” I doubt that there is anyone who disagrees.

    I see that a murder case is recommended for tossing out after eighteen years of delays in which the accused missed several calls to appear and, more than once, claimed illness prevented her appearance. This morning I am hearing of a connection between the accused and a former minister of government.

    I am still struggling to absorb this. Give me time to collect myself!


  3. You will not believe this…. negative nelly (I) held off on commenting but will now do so.

    Indeed, the article is a rehash of what is often said here.

    In addition, it gave no indication of what prompted the individual to speak out.

    I have long felt that one of the issues facing us is that no one want to be named (not in this case here) or to call names. Googling did not pierce the veil. Reading between the lines appears to be a national hobby.

    I really wish more people would come out and speak about this as some terrifying and unbelievable blatant miscarriages of justice and blatant abuse are taking place in the courts. I keep saying the AG and CJ only seem interested in the criminal courts but the civil us ignored or used to for them to inflict suffering on those they choose and it is VERY shockingly BLATANT!!!


  5. People have come out and complained about the judiciary system over the years. The disciplinary committee, BA and registrars of courts as well. Has it made a difference?

    The legal system has us by the neck.


  6. I wrote this article in hope of change, we live in the land of “nine day wonders” where names are called, shocked Bajan’s create memes and make comments, but the people that have the power to implement the required change don’t make any effort to move the needle. Furthermore, the ones who may feel embarrassed, if that bone does exist, would want to bring law suits even though you speak the truth and have proof.

    Not a connection. The information has long been in the public domain that Hanifa the accused woman was or is the second wife of Mr. Rawle Eastmond, an attorney and former BLP Cabinet Minister.

    A simple google search will verify.
