In recognition of the #16Days of Activism against genderbased violence, which began on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and Girls and continues until International Human Rights Day on December 10th, we continue to confront a serious rape crisis in Saint Lucia.

This year’s theme “Raise Money to End Violence Against Women & Girls” is in keeping with our efforts as we raise funds to establish a rape crisis centre to provide support, legal and victims aid and advocacy services for victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. Catherine Sealys of Raise your Voice St Lucia is making a special appeal to members of the public to help achieve this goal in aid of victims and survivors.

She says Raise your voice St Lucia will receive crucial assistance from a US based charity.
