Ghanaians are demanding the immediate arrest and punishment of a driver who was seen on camera repeatedly beating a young woman over a purported debt of GH¢64 in Accra, according to TV3 GH.
In what looks to be a furious fight, the man is seen in the unsettling video, which has now gone viral on social media, slapping the helpless woman repeatedly. The incident has sparked outrage among netizens, who have called it an intolerable act of violence that has to be addressed. The Ghana Police Service has been urged by many to act quickly to guarantee the man receives justice.
"This is not acceptable! Regardless of the circumstances, no one has the right to touch another person. One irate reader commented, "He needs to be arrested and sued." "This violent behavior warrants a severe punishment, even though the debt is GH¢64. "He needs to be held responsible," someone another said. On social media, the video has caused a great deal of controversy, with many users demanding accountability by using the hashtag #JusticeForTheLady. "It's about power and abuse, not the money," said one viewer. This man believes that because she is weak, he may attack her. This has to stop.
As one person noted, "Most women don't even report these kinds of incidents, and they happen more frequently than we realize." This time, the law must be effective. Lawyers and activists have joined the discussion, advising the victim to seek legal recourse. Prominent feminist activist Angela Dwamena demanded more extensive social changes to deal with these problems, saying, "One man or one woman is not the only issue here. It is a manifestation of the increasing normalization of violence against women.
We need to address this from the ground up. Although the Ghana Police Service has not yet issued an official statement on the incident, pressure is growing for them to take immediate action.
