THE REPUBLIC OF GAMBIA, Judgment No. ECW/CCJ/JUD/03/08 in LR 2004-2009, (§15) and Moukhtar Ibrahim v. Government of Jigawa State & 2 Ors, Judgment No.: ECW/CCJ/JUD/12/14, p. 40). 115. The Court finds that the Applicant suffered substantial damage, including the psychological impact of the violence. However, it considers that the sought amount of one hundred and fifty thousand US dollars (150,000 USD) has not been sufficiently justified in the case file. Based on the principles of fairness and proportionality, the Court adjusts the amount awarded to adequately reflect the damages proven, ensuring that the compensation is fair but does not constitute undue enrichment. - AN ORDER compelling the Republic of Sierra Leone to adopt the necessary legislative, administrative, social and economic resources to ensure the protection, punishment and eradication of all forms of sexual violence against women.
