Giving the keynote address at a Catechesis retreat at Leauva'a, Chief Justice Satiu lamented the increase in cases before the court of violence and sexual crime against women.
Chief Justice Satiu said there are far too many men who think it's ok to hit and beat women because they make them angry.
"We are fathers, husbands and fathers must show humanity for our wives, partners and children. They are people and not possessions owned by us."
