As part of its efforts to help eradicate the scourge of abuse, especially against women and children, the Ministry of Human Services and Social Security (MoHSSS) recently launched the Spotlight Initiative programme to educate, spread awareness, and provide intervention to victims of violence regardless of gender and age.
“We want to see people understand that it is not the first recourse. Using your fist and using weapons to hit at each other, that’s not where you should be going. Let’s look at effective and open communication and dialogue…. One life (lost) is one too much,” Minister of Human Services and Social Security (MoHSSS) Dr Vindhya Persaud said.
