The Association of Female Executives in Trinidad and Tobago (AFETT) is calling for a multi-pronged and many-layered approach in dealing with the issue of Gender Based Violence (GBV) in this country, stating that it should be a national priority, all year round. In an official statement issued today, recently elected AFETT president, Dixie-Ann Dixon, points out that men need psycho-social support to bring about behaviour change, and that arming women is not enough to end the GBV scourge. “While we need to look out for our women, we also need to pay closer attention to our young men, particularly at an early age, ensuring that they have respect for women and provide safe outlets for expressing themselves and their emotions,” Dixon observes.
