All prosecutors should have the capacity to apply the criminal laws of their State in an appropriate and gender-sensitive manner. The capacity of the prosecution service should be able to effectively address the needs of women and girl victims of violence. Capacity development includes developing specialized services and the capacity for victims to have the choice of speaking to a female prosecutor, as discussed in the previous sections. However every prosecutor’s capacities should be developed to ensure that they are non-judgmental and respectful towards victims.
