Collaborative project between the University of Leicester and the University of the West Indies on gender based violence and arts activism in the Caribbean.

Nice (re)connecting with colleagues at the UWI's Forum on Domestic Violence. I have been reflecting on concepts, stakeholder mapping and strategies that promote Family & Domestic Violence Leave in the public and private sectors and ensuring schools are GBV-free institutions.

On the penultimate day of #16DaysofActivism we are reminded of the core motivations for our work: raising awareness and representation, stimulating activism and, ultimately change. We wish to inspire this generation of cycle-breakers to put an end to GBV.

As we build out our own resources for GBV education and prevention, we are inspired by other organisations doing crucial work and raising awareness around topics that we may not always consider.

Cash assistance is an excellent way to empower women and build their resilience in humanitarian responses - but GBV risk analysis needs to be at the center of any CVA intervention to ensure that it does not create more harm #16DaysOfActivism #EndGBVTogether

"Sanatan said schools needed to take responsibility for making their environments GBV-free, including when students were on their way to school...more opportunities for students to report GBV without fear of repercussions." via @Newsday_TT

"Pit latrines present several problems for women’s health and their safety in a society where gender-­based violence is prevalent...there are multiple risks associated with the use of latrines in environments where there is public insecurity."

Thinking about arts activism in prisons? In 2011 and 2012 in Arouca Maximum Security prison in Trinidad, former members of the Trinidad Theatre Company used Carnival Arts as a transformation process with long-timers and lifers. You can read about it here https://t.co/eUMRTHJ9PF
