Refugee women and girls experience an added layer of instability, due to a lack of familial and institutional support when they arrive in unknown and often hostile environments. Since the beginning of what has been dubbed the โVenezuelan refugee crisisโ, we have seen gruesome crimes against Venezuelan and other migrant women.

As in naught โฆ as in not 1 single individual has been held accountable for the sexual exploitation of these women. Impunity for offenders and a lack of official statistics on these crimes persist and our respective governments have been slow to address these challenges.
The poisonous mixture of socioeconomic instability, patriarchy and colourism results is pain, suffering and DEATH to a disproportionate amount of women.
WE DEMAND:
๐sensitisation activity geared towards migrants, refugees in particular, on their rights and courses for redress within the Trinidad and Tobago justice system.
๐ensure that the language barrier is overcome with a team of professional interpreters to ensure free flow of accurate information and reports.
