Social media users are furious about the footage, and many are calling for responsibility by tweeting the hashtag #JusticeForTheLady.

According to one viewer, "Power and abuse are more important than money. She's weak, so this man believes he can attack her. This is got to stop.

Another made the observation that "most women don't even report these kinds of incidents, and they happen more frequently than we think." The law must be effective this time.

Advocates and legal professionals have joined the discussion, advising the victim to seek legal recourse. To address such challenges, renowned feminist activist Angela Dwamena urged for more extensive societal reforms, saying,

"This is about more than one man or woman. It is an indication of the extent to which violence against women has become accepted. We need to start from the beginning.
