CYA SVG Hosts Live Discussion on Gender Inequality and Violence Against Women

CARICOM Youth Ambassadors SVG live discussion

Kingstown, St. Vincent — 30 November 2017. The CARICOM Youth Ambassadors of SVG are hosting a Facebook Live discussion on the things that perpetuate gender inequality and violence against women, in all its forms, across our society — social, economic, financial and political.

The panel brings together Mr Kezron Walters, President of the ULP Youth arm; Mr Kinsha Horne, President of the NDP Youth arm; and Ms Lesha Richardson, sister of a domestic-violence victim — hosted by Mr André Browne, CARICOM (Male) Youth Ambassador. All young people are invited to take part in this frank conversation about the factors that fuel gender inequality and violence against women in SVG.

The discussion begins tonight at 6:30 PM, broadcast live on the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors SVG Facebook page and shared to JSR Communications' online TV.

The CARICOM Youth Ambassador Programme (CYAP) was established in 1993, with two Youth Ambassadors appointed from each country. It serves as the regional network of Caribbean young people, providing a platform for youth participation in CARICOM decision-making, and acts as the link between the issues and priorities of CARICOM and young people in their home countries. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is a regional inter-governmental organisation made up of 15 Member States and five Associate Members.
