One month has passed since the brutal murder of 35-year-old Delecia Flowers in her Belize City home, leaving her family devastated and her teenage daughter injured. The incident, which occurred in October—a month dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence—has highlighted the alarming prevalence of gender-based violence in Belize. As the country joins the global Sixteen Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign, Delecia’s family continues to grapple with their loss and seek justice. Delecia’s brother, Delroy Moody, shared the family’s anguish and the challenges they face in coping with the tragedy. He expressed concerns about the broader societal issues contributing to such violence, including substance abuse and unresolved anger. Despite their efforts, the family has yet to receive updates on the case, leaving them in a state of uncertainty and frustration. Moody emphasized the need for systemic change to break the cycle of violence and protect women and children in Belize.
