HUNDREDS of women (plus male allies) on Monday marched through Port of Spain on the occasion of International Women s Day (IWD) to demand the right to walk and travel free from the fear of assault and harassment, in an event termed, Walkout for Women.
While the murders of Andrea Bharatt, 23, and Ashanti Riley, 18, ignited candlelight vigils nationwide nightly, women are still victims such as Karen Rauseo-Karim, 53, murdered last Tuesday in Princes Town, plus a 34 year old woman shot and wounded in Princes Town on Thursday.
