Survivors deserve safety the first time they speak — not after public outrage.

Barbados - “Cultural Ambassador The Most Honourable Anthony ‘Mighty Gabby’ Carter has been charged with a sex-related offence in relation to a complaint which was made by the mother of a teenaged girl last year.”
Such an honor to represent @TheOfficialLIL / @Official_CYC at this lovely event and to have shared my views with this room full of amazing parliamentarians and civil society leaders from across our region!
On this day, we celebrate the 7th anniversary of #LifeInLeggings.
We remember & honour the Caribbean women and girls in the region who broke their silence on their experiences with gender-based violence 7 years ago and in doing so challenged societal perspectives on this issue.
#LifeInLeggings is not only a story of our trauma but of our resilience and fight for justice. We’ve only just begun…
Thank you for your continuous support over the years in our mission to end violence against women and girls in the Caribbean!
