Jamaican-born Delores Robinson grew up in a home affected by domestic violence. As a young woman she worked in an organisation that dealt with gender-based violence – but she later found herself in a similar situation.
Now she works to help victims and survivors of domestic violence to separate themselves from their abusive situations and stand on their own feet.
