WHEN a group of UK-based Trini business owners and entertainers saw reporting on recent events of violence against women and girls back home in TT, they decided they had to do something.
The group of advocates joined together to form the group Faith In Our Destiny to support the growing movement to call for action to protect the country’s women.
“Trinbagonian women are being raped, sexually assaulted, abused, and murdered at alarming rates with not enough being done to stop it! It is evident the country is facing a gender-based violence crisis,” the group said in a statement.

AS TOLD TO BC PIRES
My name is Nikisha Watson and I’m the woman cooking and wining to the tune of Savannah Grass in the video that went viral.
I am born and bred in Trinidad and spent all of my childhood, adolescence and early adulthood in Chaguanas.
It was real country then and I still say I’m a country girl. But now my old neighbourhood is like a little mini-city. Opposite my parents’ house, there s now a big gym.
