The Honourable Ayanna Webster-Roy, Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister read Trinidad and Tobago’s Country Statement and updated the Assembly on the ways the Government has actioned its political will in accelerating gender equality and equity through legislation and mainstreaming gender at the national level. The Government understands that violence against women and girls is a manifestation of unequal power relations, toxic masculine behaviours and negative stereotypes, which have devastating outcomes on the society. The Government reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. It also reiterated its commitment to fast-tracking the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all vulnerable groups as identified in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 5 and 10.

It also calls for individual responsibility and behaviour chang

Good afternoon. In light of the honourable PM announcement that schools would be closed for a week beginning 14 to 20 March 2020, and because children cannot be left alone at home, parents who do not have arrangements in place would have to stay home to supervise their children. This can have an adverse effect on the family finances as well as the parents' jobs. Please advise parents and employers in the circumstances.

All children and adolescents have a right to access information and material from diverse sources: I believe that all young people must be allowed access in order to be able to make informed choices for their social, spiritual and moral well-being and physical and mental health. The media, communities and individuals, including parents and guardians, all have a responsibility to ensure that they receive the relevant information.

I am sending this plea to everyone on Facebook in Trinidad and Tobago: Please everyone, pray Psalm 91 everyday and rid this country of all of this blood shedding no matter who is killed. Our streets are more flooded with blood than rain water! Will their be a country for our children to inherit? Or will we have to send them abroad after SEA for their own safety and real future?
