In sentencing a person convicted of the wilful homicide or of the attempted wilful homicide of a person of the female gender the court shall, in establishing the punishment, give due consideration to whether the homicide or attempted homicide:

(b) resulted from violence by a member or members of the family; or
(c) was committed for misogynist motives; or
(d) was committed for reasons of honour of the perpetrator, or of family reputation, or for reasons related to religious or cult belief or practices; or
(e) was committed due to motives based on the gender, or gender identity, or sex or sexual orientation of the victim; or
(f) was committed as a result of sexual violence or of acts of a sexual nature; or
(g) was committed due to the victim being involved in prostitution, or being subjected to sexual exploitation or being the victim of human trafficking for purposes of sexual exploitation, and the court shall consider the existence of any of the said circumstances as a factor militating against leniency in punishment.
