The state agencies are very vocal when it comes to 'women's issues'. Like they say, talk is cheap. Also, one starts to avoid criticising a champion of 'the black and the poor and of women', so in that regard, criticising the agencies is very expensive. As you point out, nothing is as it seems. In a country with rampant crime and violent death, corruption and degrading social services, one has to have a new card to play as the 'race card' is faded. The narrative of patriarchy and violence as a gender-related phenomenon, is a conveniently ready-mademarketing tool for the state. Men are violent, they kill one another and they kill women. We protect women. When women kill men, it is easily framed in the context of this narrative as well. It is a new way of dividing and ruling.
