According to the Ministry, some victims who have been identified are already receiving psychosocial and legal support. Others have been placed in safe shelters where necessary.

The Ministry added that it is working closely with the Police, civil society organisations, and other agencies to investigate all the reported cases and ensure those responsible are held accountable.

The Ministry stressed that "crime has no expiration," and promised that updates will be provided periodically as investigations progress.

It further encouraged the public to report suspected cases of abuse to the Domestic Violence Call Centre, the Ministry's Helpline of Hope, or to the nearest police station.
