Filling the Gaps: Evidence-Based Advocacy to End Child Sexual Abuse and Gender-Based Violence
Venue: Daaga Auditorium, The UWI, St Augustine Campus
A partnership between the Bankers Association and the Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS), The UWI St. Augustine Campus.
Background: A Memorandum of Understanding was signed in November 2021 between the Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS) UWI STA and The Bankers Association of Trinidad and Tobago (BATT). The focus of the MOU is on deepening the longstanding Break the Silence: End Child Sexual Abuse initiative, which is central to the IGDS St Augustine’s work. This phase of the project is focused on building the responsiveness of the outreach of the Break the Silence Campaign and Associated Projects to end Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) and related forms of Gender-Based Violence (GBV). An Oversight Committee will guide this work. The Committee is comprised of a cadre of multi-sectoral, interdisciplinary professionals whose presence is designed to bring relevant insight, transparency, and strategic alignment to the outputs of the MOU.

Domestic Violence Must Stop
Charmaine Cedeno-Alleyne
Branch President, BIGWU
Background: “Having first-hand experiences of our members becoming victims of such heinous crimes, it has become necessary for our Union to speak out against Domestic Violence and create awareness. The Banking, Insurance and General Workers Union commit to providing avenues for victims to seek help through its various arms (youth, women and general council members). BIGWU will conduct seminars, provide educational material, and send out electronic advisories to help curb the rate of these cruel acts. The Union’s uttermost goal is that of Prevention.”
