Professor Dr Gerard Hutchinson, psychiatrist and university lecturer Even as gender-based violence (GBV) remains one of the most earnest threats facing women in T&T, there were still too many not admitting they were being abused which could be counter-productive in the fight to eliminate violence against women. This was said by psychiatrist and university lecturer, Professor Dr Gerard Hutchinson while responding to Guardian Media’s question about the importance of clinical intervention in GBV. In an email response, he wrote: “In many cases, the victims do not admit that their injuries or illnesses were occurring in the context of GBV, which presents the first hurdle.”
