The NiNa Young Women s Leadership Programme experienced the trauma that comes with violence against women in the first week of April.
Two of its members were physically attacked by men they knew.
The programme was designed to contribute positively to the lives of girls, especially from inner cities and those living in state-run homes for children who experienced violence or neglect by their guardians. It focuses on creating an entrepreneurial culture and mindset in young women across the Caribbean.
