Youths Elevating Youths in collaboration with Resin Art TT and Caricom youth ambassadors held a protest event on Wednesday to raise awareness against violence against women.
Aleah Holder, founder of Youths Elevating Youths, told Newsday the event was organised as a response to the various acts of violence against women in the last two months. The murder of 18-year-old Ashanti Riley, who was found dead on December 4, continues to spark outrage nationally. Riley left her San Juan home on November 29 and entered a taxi, but was never seen alive again.
