1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Advancing the UWI Brand as an Activist University The period 2017-2018 was a year for increasing national visibility and collaboration as a basis for strengthening IGDS SAU’s impact and the university’s strategic goals. It built on the last year’s focus on defining a flow-through process from undergraduate intake and mentorship (IGDS Ignite) to post-graduate completion and professional development (IGDS CV+).

Public Engagement, Advocacy and Policy

Individuals, groups , schools, organisations, musicians, moko jumbies and more turned out to the second International Women’s Day Rally and march, Queens Park Savannah, March 10.

Gender Justice With regard to the UWI’s core value of Gender Justice, the IGDS remains the key point of engagement between the university and the national and regional community, providing value particularly in terms of the UWI’s contribution to regional activism and advocacy. Two public fora were held this year as part of advancing understanding of and commitment to gender justice, one focused on gender-responsive budgeting and the other as part of International Women’s Day commemorations.

IGDS’ almost continuous presence in traditional media (newspapers and television) on issues ranging from gender based violence to economic inequality has enabled the university to meet a public demand to be seen as contributing to Caribbean transformation in these areas. The IGDS also makes active use of social media campaigns across multiple digital platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and Youtube.

2 As part of combining such outreach with research, IGDS’s second conference for the academic year focuses on Caribbean Cyberfeminisms, from June 27-29, 2018, will lead to documentation of the UWI’s leadership in such regional digital activism and strengthen its networks with regional activists also at the forefront of online advocacy.

The following are a few additional highlights of the IGDS’ activism, collaborations and impact in advancement of the core value of gender justice.

Gender Based Violence

2Cents poets with high school students November 2018. Whiteboards GBV is… and Ending GBV is… allowed the team to collect statements later used for a digital billboard campaign.

The #EndGBV” Campaign was launched in collaboration with the 2 Cents Movement, and included outreach to forty secondary schools. Funded by the Canadian High Commission, a digital media campaign followed which ran on eight electronic billboards in Trinidad and Tobago over the period of 16 Days of Activism in 2017, representing the only national campaign of its kind, and providing open access materials for use by all university stakeholders.

IGDS’ presence in the media was complemented this year by its coordination of advocacy related to amendments to the Domestic Violence Act as proposed by the Equal Opportunity Commission. Advocacy materials, which are open access and available to national and regional stakeholders on IGDS’ Facebook page, were also produced as part of this collaboration. 3 In collaboration with UN Women, the IDB and the Office of the Prime Minister (Gender and Child Affairs Division), the IGDS also chaired the Research Steering Committee for Trinidad and Tobago’s first national survey on Intimate Partner Violence and Women’s Health, and produced the accompanying national Qualitative Study on Gender Based Violence. Both provide the most up to date information on this issue in Trinidad and Tobago. Collaboration with ANSA McAl, First Citizens’ Bank, and the IDB to create an innovative private sector approach to addressing intimate partner violence was initiated following completion of these studies, and is now ongoing. Representatives at the launch of the National Women's Health Survey, May 2018.

The Break the Silence campaign to end child sexual abuse continued this year with training of teachers, an art competition, and extensive outreach to communities. The Teacher Toolkit, produced in 2017 and funded by the US Embassy, is being used in schools for the second year as part of a creative and collaborative approach to national education on this issue.

The project, “A Sexual Culture of Justice: Strengthening LGBTQI & GBV Partnerships, Capacity & Efficacy to Promote & Protect Rights in T&T” supported and trained a diverse group of men to champion gender equality and non-violence in their different communities through five day-long workshops completed between October and December 2017. Among other activities, this European Union funded project also created a Teacher Training Toolkit and Facilitator Guide focused on preventing the culture of bullying of young people as related to sex and gender.

Finally, the IGDS joined the Research Sub-Committee for the Formulation of a Domestic Violence Course offered by the Trinidad and Tobago Police Academy, and is collaborating with the TTPS on workshops related to bullying and gender- based violence.

4 Masculinities

Placard at the International Women’s Day Rally and March, 2018

The #CaribbeanMenCan Campaign was launched with the support of the Canadian High Commission on March 8, 2018, with campaign materials developed as an open-access resource for national and regional advocacy. This campaign was supported and shared by the global network MenEngage, continuing the university’s expertise and reach on issues related to masculinities. The IGDS was also on the advisory committee for the Office of the Prime Minister (Gender and Child Division) roll out of their ‘Barbershop’ programme for men and boys, and continued outreach through its #RedCardRapeCulture workshop.

Political Economy and Gender-Sensitive Policy Making The “Connecting the Dots: Work . Life Balance . Ageing” conference was hosted by The UWI Research Development Impact Fund, in collaboration with the Institute of Gender and Development Studies and the Social Work Unit on April 26–27, 2018 at the Teaching and Learning Complex, UWI, St. Augustine. In addition to

Work/Life Balance and Ageing conference, team members, collaboration with UNECLAC and the ILO, panelists and IGDS staff, April 2018. private sector partners in this project included T&TEC and First Citizens’ Bank Ltd.

5 Staff were also members of the committee, convened by the Office of the Prime Minister (Gender and Child Division) to finalize an action plan related to the Draft National Policy for Gender and Development. As well, the IGDS was contracted by the Office of the Prime Minister (Gender and Child Division) to offer training to state- sector gender focal points as part of roll-out of this policy. Finally, the IGDS continued to build its capacity to produce a national analysis of the extent to which fiscal policy advances gender justice, through the innovative model of a Gender Justice Scorecard for Trinidad and Tobago. To this end, a public forum and CSO training workshop on Gender Responsive Budgeting were held in September 2017.

Gender and Development The first, annual post-CAPE camp on social justice, community engagement and development (IGDS Reach) will be held from July 9-13, 2018. It seeks to make the UWI the primary site for cross-faculty youth education and activist training regarding the SDGs. This camp is financially supported by WAND, an established women’s network in Trinidad and Tobago.

Making of Feminisms in the Caribbean The IGDS was the lead organizer for this year’s International Women’s Day march, attended by about 800 persons on March 10, 2018. Among others, Republic Bank, First Citizens’ Bank, the Office of the Prime Minister, and UN Women were sponsors. As many as seventy community-based organisations collaborated.

For International Women’s Day, IGDS’ activities included the UWI public forum, #PressforGenderJustice, presentations at a panel organised by the OPM, presentations on gender-based violence at AMCHAM’s International Women’s Day annual commemorative event and on gender-responsive budgeting at the PLOTT- organised forum, collaboration with Guardian Media on a poster for national distribution, and with I95FM on women’s rights messaging which ran on radio for the week, and the march itself.

Under this theme, the IGDS also produced the 11th annual issue of the Caribbean Review of Gender Studies, the UWI St. Augustine Campus’ first and longest-running open-access, on line peer-reviewed journal. Supported by the Campus Research and Publication Fund from inception, the CRGS receives more than 3000 new visitors every year and its most recent issue was on gendered policy-making in the Caribbean.

Collaborations

Gender Advisory Board

In 2016, the Institute established a Gender Advisory Board to strengthen long-term partnerships, particularly with but not limited to the private sector, and to help meet the Triple A goals of the UWI’s Strategic Plan.

From this academic year, current members of the Gender Advisory Board include Sterling Frost (Deputy CEO- Operations and Administration), Yolande Agard Simmons (President, Association of Female Executives of T&T), Roberta Clarke (President, Coalition Against Domestic Violence), Denise Demming (Demming Communications), Diane Seukeran (past Minister – Trade and Industry, and Social Development and Gender Affairs), Clint Roland Arthur (Trinidad and Tobago Police 7 Service), and Dr. Safeeya Mohammed (National Muslim Women’s Organisation). UWI faculty Dr Cheryl Ann Boodram (Coordinator of Social Work Practicum & Lecturer), Dr. Keron Niles (Lecturer - Institute of International Relations) and Ms. Christine Sahadeo (Lecturer - Management Studies) as well as the academic staff of the IGDS are also on the board.

The three areas of work to be supported by the Board are in relation to ending Child Sexual Abuse, Gender-Responsive Budgeting and a Private Sector Approach to Addressing Intimate Partner Violence.

UWI Faculties and Departments In terms of UWI faculties and departments, this year the IGDS collaborated with SALISES, the Faculty of Law, the Caribbean Institute for Gender and Development Summer Programme on the UWI Cave Hill Campus, the Department of Economics and the Department of Sociology in the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Department of Geography in the Faculty of Food and Agriculture, the Department of Literary, Culture, and Communications Studies in the Faculty of Humanities and Education, the School of Education in the Faculty of Humanities and Education, and the Milner Hall of Residence.

Other Universities Collaborations with other universities included the University of Trinidad and Tobago, University of Havana, the University of Toronto, York University, Anton de Kom University of Suriname, the University of Guyana and Justes Lieberg University, Giessen.

Sponsors Republic Bank Limited, First Citizens Bank Limited, ANSA Mc Al, the British High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago, the High Commission of Canada in Trinidad and Tobago, the National Muslim Women's Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago, the Commonwealth Foundation, UN Women Caribbean, and the Office of the Prime Minister provided support for IGDS’ outreach and collaborations.

Partnerships Core outreach also included collaboration with 2 Cents Movement, Living Waters Community, Powerful Ladies of Trinidad and Tobago (PLOTT), the Coalition Against Domestic Violence, InterClub of Trinidad and Tobago, the Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association, the Trinidad & Tobago Film Festival, the Media Association of Trinidad & Tobago, the Employers Consultative Association, the American Chamber of Commerce of Trinidad and Tobago (AMCHAM T&T), the Equal Opportunity Commission (EOC), the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the Gender Budgeting in Ukraine Project, ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network, and the Queen’s Museum (New York), among others.

8 Reflection

Given its complement of only three full time lecturers the Institute has been consistent in its efforts to utilize graduate students as part-time tutors, research assistants and for administrative support in various projects, events and activities. None of this work could happen otherwise, and it facilitates the Institute’s commitment to active student mentorship in relation to media engagement and public writing, activist organizing, workshop facilitation, and teaching, particularly in students’ areas of research.

The Institute continues to offer two Minor programmes (one in the Faculty of Social Sciences and one in the Faculty of Humanities and Education) as well as Diploma to PhD post-graduate degrees.

It continued four main research projects this year, related to Work-Life Balance/and Ageing, Gender-Based Violence, A Sexual Culture of Justice, and Gender- Responsive Budgeting, all of which were defined by their combination of research and public outreach.

Amidst this, a focus on increasing visibility and partnerships has meant that IGDS enables the university to show its commitment to Caribbean transformation in ways that are engendered and add value to the UWI brand. The limitations of the work shared among so few is its sustainability, and it is hoped that the value created can be recognized, shared and supported in the upcoming academic year despite financial challenges.

9 MILESTONES

Rhoda Reddock, Professor of Gender and Social Change, has been elected to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).

15 Making of Feminisms in the Caribbean (MFC) (Making of Caribbean Feminisms (MCF) was used on some platforms and is in process of being revised.)

The Making of Feminisms in the Caribbean collections are accessible for research purposes at the West Indiana Special Collections, Alma Jordan Library in hard copies and digitally on the world wide web on the UWISpace platform.

West Indiana and Special Collections (WISC) holds a growing collection of documents that were collected/acquired specially for the MFC (eg. CAFRA, Hazel Brown, and regional newsletters and publications). WISC also holds various documents on feminisms in the Caribbean, available as part of other important collections such as The Eric Williams Memorial Collection (eg. Marguerite Wyke). https://libraries.sta.uwi.edu/ajl/index.php/caribbean-resources/west-indiana

A website http://sta.uwi.edu/igds/mcf/ is meant to introduce the material available but does not list everything. Links to biographies, researchers, research projects and research areas of interest and and organisations and well as data and statistics will soon be available.

UWISpace hosts the MCF handle http://uwispace.sta.uwi.edu/dspace/handle/2139/43429 and has a significant number of documents now uploaded to the collection. This includes numerous regional feminist publications.

A Synology digital storage drive, owned by the IGDS but managed by the digitizing department at the Alma Jordan Library, houses and backs up the growing MFC collection.

A recent team meeting on May 2, 2018, clarified the origins and the correct name of the project. The name will be adjusted across all platforms to “Making of Feminisms in the Caribbean” as documented in a report of activities and decisions dated 2002. It was decided at the May 2018 meeting that all reports and documents associated with the origins and development of the project to be uploaded to UWISpace and made available for research purposes.

Ms Renuka Anandjit, IGDS Research Assistant, will assist with the work towards the MCF, collections and annual meetings (to be carded for May of each year).

20 RESEARCH AND OUTREACH

The IGDS St Augustine continues to attract project participation and outreach requests from a range of partners both within and outside of The University Campus.

RESEARCH PROJECTS

Partners and collaborators on the Sexual Culture of Justice project, 2016 A Sexual Culture of Justice Project – European Grant April 2017 to March 2020 – Ongoing Lead Researcher Dr Angelique Nixon “A Sexual Culture of Justice: Strengthening LGBTQI & GBV Partnerships, Capacity & Efficacy to Promote & Protect Rights in T&T” is an activity-based, human rights project funded by the European Union and implemented by the University of the West Indies, Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS) in collaboration with six LGBTI and feminist organisations in Trinidad and Tobago: CAISO, Friends for Life, I Am One, The Silver Lining Foundation, Womantra and The Women’s Caucus. This project is a community-university collaboration that provides three years of support for some of the longest-standing and emerging local efforts to transform approaches to partner violence, homophobia, bullying and policing, while building partnerships and organisational capacity. The project includes a suite of linked activities (with families, teachers, counsellors, men in local communities, police, scholars, students, community organisers, media, and legislators) aimed at influencing “a sexual culture of justice” in Trinidad and Tobago through change in societal thinking. Completed activities during year one of the project include: 1) developed new accessible knowledge products that strengthen local advocacy grounded in Caribbean theories, praxis, evidence, and analysis through the development of the Knowledge E-Portal; 2) supported and trained a diverse group of men to champion a new culture of gender equality and non-violence in their different communities through five day-long workshops (completed Oct – Dec 2017) and media creation of scripted messages challenging sexism and GBV as video PSAs (launch end of June 2018); 3) established support for families of LGBTQI youth; 4) created teacher training toolkit and facilitator guide focused on preventing the culture of bullying of young people related to sex and gender (trainings begin Sept 2018).

IGDS staff and Work/Life Balance Project Team Members, 27 April 2018 Work/Life Balance and Ageing Populations Research Project Connecting The Dots - Work Life Balance Ageing - April 26-27, 2018 Lead Researcher Professor Patricia Mohammed The project concluded on April 30 2018, closing with the symposium “Connecting the Dots: Work Life Balance Ageing” by the Institute of Gender and Development Studies and the Social Work Unit on April 26–27, 2018 at the Teaching and Learning Complex, UWI, St. Augustine. This event was the major event of the final year of the project and culmination of the research reporting back to stakeholders on findings and establishing a dialogue for moving forward beyond the RDI funded period. The conference brought together local and regional stakeholders, including the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America, and the Caribbean (UNECLAC), International Labour Organization, Decent Work Team and Office for the Caribbean (ILO/ DWT), Women Working for Social Progress (Working Women), policy makers, public sector official, corporate sector representatives, caregivers, civil society, regional and international scholars in the field of ageing, and members of the public. Lead Investigator, Professor Patricia Mohammed established the need for the research and the conference by highlighting the demographic shifts towards an ageing population in the Caribbean and the imperatives for society to plan forward to address the emerging changes. The conference began with a difference — moving away from traditional conferences which establish social problems from the onset. Rather, the introduction of an animation piece specially commissioned by the First Citizen’s Bank, allowed young people to produce a public think-piece which guided the participants through re-imagining life in a society which supports our ageing population. This was one of three short videos produced this year - to highlight best practices in elder care, Dr Angelique Nixon and Rachel Taylor interviewed the founders and managers of J&C Adult Daycare and Re-creation Centre in Petit Valley from which a short video was produced; and Dr Godfrey St Bernard was interviewed by Renee Cozier on demographic changes and their consequences. All of these videos were showcased at the conference. The project received acceptance of its proposal to Ian Randle Publishers Ltd for an edited book based on the findings of the project and this publication represents a groundbreaking multidisciplinary work which captures quantitative and qualitative data on this very under- researched area, particularly in looking at the intersection of the consequences of a rapidly ageing society and the stressors on the working population. Further, this book will incorporate multimedia to showcase the rich data generated at the symposium where an artist created pieces inspired by the presentations and comments from participants.

22 CSOs For Good Governance – European Grant March 2017 to February 2020 – Ongoing Lead Researcher Dr Gabrielle Hosein Under the project CSOs for Good Governance: Enhancing civil society’s contribution to governance and development processes in Trinidad and Tobago, the IGDS was awarded a small grant of $50,000 TT to conduct work on “Advancing Partnerships Toward Gender Responsive Budgeting in T&T.” This project is part of the three (3) year project on the development of a Gender Justice Scorecard for Trinidad and Tobago. The project is expected to last four (4) months. In the first phase the IGDS worked with Gwendoline Williams and Maria Roberts on the GJ Scorecard project.

The UWI Gender Policy Regional project – concluded The University of the West Indies (UWI) developed a Gender Policy to formalise its commitment to gender justice and establish a framework for its implementation. The policy was launched on Tuesday (May 22) at the UWI Regional Headquarters in Mona, Kingston. The launch of this policy, led by the University’s Institute for Gender and Development Studies (IGDS), is intended to act as the framework to inform changes necessary at the various levels of the regional University towards the promotion of gender justice, and addresses issues of equity, sensitivity and resource allocation.

It is also a blueprint to incorporate the issues of gender and development and to express the fundamental principles that are deemed vital to sustainable growth and development throughout the Caribbean.

Professor Reddock was a panellist for the discussion after the launch.

23 NETWORKS

Break the Silence Network Meeting, 16 March 2018 Break the Silence Network Break the Silence: End Child Sexual Abuse Campaign Ongoing Lead Researchers Professor Rhod Reddock and Dr Sandra Reid Outreach continues to be a vital service of the Break the Silence campaign as it aims to inform, sensitize, empower, collaborate, and train communities on the issues of child sexual abuse, the intersectionalities of gender and its power relations and how CSA has implications and deleterious contributions to the HIV epidemic. In 2017, the BTS/ IGDS team executed a number of activities using the material from the Teacher’s Tool Kit. The team also produced a new pocket card with hotlines and vital information that can fit discretely into a pocket or wallet.

Teacher training: 2017 started with a training of high school teachers and the Ministry of Education’s Health and Family Life Education instructors. The BTS Teachers Tool Kit was introduced. The realities of gender, sexualities and how young people negotiate sexual spaces and the risk for HIV infection and exploitation was explained. This sessions provided teacher with material to take back to the classroom and to share with their students. Schools were invited to submit entries for the “Art in Schools” competition (producing works that carried message of awareness on CSA.

In November, IGDS hosted an Art in Schools Award Ceremony and Break the Silence Media Campaign Highlights on in recognition of Universal Children's Day and in celebration of the ongoing project “Break the Silence Teacher Training and Student Art Contest: Raising Awareness about Gender, Child Sexual Abuse and Implications for HIV in Trinidad and Tobago”.

Students and winners of the first Art in schools competitions with Professor Reddock and Dr Hosein.

24 BTS was invited to partner with the National Muslim Women Organization of Trinidad and Tobago (NMWOTT) on an anti-bullying drive and to conduct two sessions. Both workshops were at schools located in south Trinidad, and included 250 students and 5 teachers. In a creative way, the sessions addressed what is bullying and the effects of bullying. Narratives found in school yards were recreated and addressed bullying and bullying language. NMWOTT held an IMAX movie fund raiser to do further outreach and networking and BTS participated. Collaboration continues as a NMWOTT is strategizing on a national school bullying conference.

East-west Corridor workshops: In November, at primary school in the east-west corridor, a student disclosed her experience of incest/abuse, with both teacher and students. The Principal was advised by Ministry of Education to seek training and sensitization for the students and the parents. The principal reached out to the BTS team. BTS conducted two sessions one with standard 3 children (70) on the issues of their body, their rights and what is CSA. And subsequently, with parents (25) on the prevalence of CSA in Trinidad and Tobago and the region, the need for them to be confident and informed and, the importance to their child’s safety, for them to be able to discuss issues surrounding sex. The parents requested further training on communication skills and tools to facilitate such conversations with their kids.

In April 2018, in recognition of Child Abuse awareness month, the IGDS collaborated with the School of Education Library for a symposium and launch of the Teachers Toolkit. The Break the Silence (BTS): Educators and Child Sexual Abuse, symposium was designed for high school teachers and lecturers and individuals in education to gain an understanding of the issue of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA), its psychological impact and implications for education. The symposium offered findings and data coming out of the Break the Silence action research project and offer insights and tools to identify incidents of and possible victims of CSA. Presentations can be found at the IGDS You Tube Channel, Break the Silence Playlist. Prof. Rhoda Reddock - https://youtu.be/e1MzH6FV6JA Dr Nivirna Maharaj - https://youtu.be/FGLOkzVCiA0 Dr Korinne Louison - https://youtu.be/inFdt-Dt5sw

The Break the Silence Network works towards influencing the lives of children on all levels. At the macro level, BTS was invited to the National AIDS Coordinating Committee, HIV/AIDS policy consultation. It was advocated that the data from BTS and from IGDS on issues of masculinity and femininity, its power negotiating needs to be considered when informing, preventing and treatment of persons affected and infected with HIV. It was advocated that complimenting policies needed to be developed and mandated to experience cultural and behavioural change. The National gender policy was one that needed to compliment the NACC’s work.

The quality of outreach is higher when a collaborative effect among all stakeholders: network members, state and academia are involved. Issues affecting our most vulnerable need to be constantly in the public domain by nonstop solidarity, advocating for systematic improvement and mandatory reporting and professionalism until all members of society has developed an intrinsic desire to protect the nations’ children.

25 Women Gender Water Network IGDS WGWN Children Water Camps Programme Ongoing The WGWN is a group of scholars in the fields of life sciences, history, chemistry, engineering, planning, gender studies, etc., as well as representatives from governmental and non- governmental organisations and community members from Trinidad and Tobago and across the Caribbean region. The WGWN creates opportunities for training and sharing of knowledge within the field of women, water and gender studies.

The Women Gender Water Network (WGWN) has been approached by the ALIARSE (ALIARSE is a non-profit organization based on Costa Rica that promotes public-private partnerships for development) to facilitate a community water access project in a selected community in Trinidad and Tobago. This initiative forms part of a wider regional project embarked upon in January 2018 around access to drinking water for low income communities in Latin America. The objective of the broader project is to provide water treatment and purification systems in order to benefit vulnerable communities in the 10 participating countries. In the Caribbean, the territories identified will include: Dominican Republic and Trinidad and Tobago, in Central America it includes: Costa Rica, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama and South America will be based in Colombia and Ecuador. A project proposal is being finalized in collaboration with the Water Resource Agency the Adopt a River programme. The Communities identified for project activity are Matelot and Brasso Seco.

29 WORKSHOPS / PRESENTATIONS July Gender-based violence workshop with 2Cents Movement team 2017 In July, IGDS partnered with the 2Cents Movement on a national secondary school caravan using spoken word and poetry to bring awareness of the issues of gender- based violence through the creation of an "End GBV" campaign. The IGDS' training regarding GBV both educated t2 Cents poets and provided the basis for the spoken word play performed in 40 secondary schools. In addition, due to the levels of sensitive information that is presented to the students at the secondary schools, and to prepare for any trauma, IGDS trained a group of school guidance counselors as a long-term support to the creative sessions. Students' own understandings of GBV and how to end it were creatively used as the basis for the International 16 Days of Activism to End GBV, with their feedback highlighted for a month on eight electronic billboards nationally. September Pre-Budget Capacity Building Workshop 2017 Designed to deepen the content of the scorecard research project. I.e. To identify relevant sectors to inform data sets and to solicit the needs and roles of partner organizations in the scorecard project. Dates - April 11th 2017, August 3rd 2017, and September 29th 2017 May 22–25 Facilitated Presentations on Child Sexual Abuse for UNFPA & Ministry of 2017 Education The UNFPA and Ministry of Education launched a Health and Family Life Education project which gives specific focus to the development of the sex and sexuality component of the current curriculum. Through some evaluation of the HFLE curriculum, it has been found that teachers, even those who have been trained, still have difficulty relaying sexual content to students. One way of alleviating some of their concerns is through sensitization training, led by specialists in the field. IGDS collaborated on this project by providing facilitation services on the area of child sexual abuse with secondary school teachers across Trinidad and Tobago. April 4– 6 Joint Workshop - Justus-Liebig University Giessen, Germany 2018.

March 2018 IGDS and Interclub of Trinidad and Tobago Panel Discussion International on the theme “Press for Gender Justice”. Four areas formed the basis of the panel Women’s Day discussion; these are Economic Justice, Peace Security and Justice, Sexual Justice and Ecological Justice. In keeping with the United Nation’s theme and the global March 5 movement for women’s rights, equality and justice, our goal was to offer a space and 2018 to highlight the work of community activists and advocates in each of these areas. As such, the discussion allowed academics to bring a conceptual overview for each of the areas and community activists were invited to speak about the work they are doing to advance Gender Justice. Mrs. Sharon Rowley, wife of the Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley, opened the event and launched the week of activities in commemoration of International Women’s Day. The panels and panelists included: Economical Justice: Dr. Anne-Marie Mohammed (Dept. of Economics, UWI) and Dr. Catherine Ali (Palmasola Women’s Group) Ecological Justice: Dr. Levi Gahman (Dept. of Geography, UWI) and Ms. Yashoda Singh (Cashew Gardens Community Recycling Programme) Peace, Security and Justice: Ms. Roberta Clarke (Visiting Fellow Institute of International Relations) and Ms. Jewel Marshall (St. Babb’s Community Women in Action) Sexual Justice:Dr. Angelique Nixon (IGDS) and Ms. Sharon Mottley (Women’s Caucus) March 2018 IGDS, Canadian High Commission and InterClub #CaribbeanMenCan International Men came together to express their solidarity with the struggle for women’s rights. The Women’s Day IGDS played a crucial role by developing solidarity statements which formed part of the social media campaign #CaribbeanMenCan. Men were welcomed to post these March 8 solidarity messages as videos or text on their facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram 2018 profiles, to paint or print them on posters and T-shirts and to then implement these commitments in their families, communities and workplaces. See solidarity messages: Politics: It’s time for women to be 50% of the region’s parliaments. Caribbean men can endorse women’s leadership. GBV: Women continue to be vulnerable to violence. Caribbean men can collaborate for a safer society. Sports: Women in sports deserve equal pay for equal play. Caribbean men can change the game. Media: Ads that sell sex and stereotypes, harm girls’ self-esteem. Caribbean men can change the message. Economy: Women are climbing the corporate ladder but are still underrepresented at the top. Caribbean men can make boardroom equality our business. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment remains an everyday issue. Caribbean men can make our society safe. Sexual Violence: Sexual relations need consent. Caribbean men can end rape culture. Share the Care: Even working women do the majority of house work. Caribbean men can do better. Share the care. Crime: Children can’t blossom when gangs grow. Caribbean men can work together to end insecurity. Rights: Gender equality is everyone’s responsibility. Caribbean men can be allies for women’s rights.

Skype meeting on youth political leadership with Connoly Black (PNP YO, President) - November 2017 “Red Card” Rape Culture is a workshop that presented men with statements to which they respond with a “red card” in disagreement, “green card” for approval and a “yellow card” for uncertainty or mixed feelings. The statements that the young men responded to were developed around the themes of: gender beliefs (“There are situations when a girls says no but she means yes.” “Rape will always be there.”); women blame (“It’s her fault. She was dressed that way” “It is a woman’s responsibility to not get raped.”); consent (“It’s wrong to lead him on and when he is ready, say “no””); revenge pornography (“She sent me pics. She should have known I would share it”); and, the normalisation of sexual violence by males (“Nothing wrong with lyrics from songs like Bedroom Bully.” “Women bring out a part in men that they cannot control.”). This activity gave the men the opportunity to see the diversity of attitudes held by other men. Moreover, recording the scores offered the facilitators the opportunity to see how effective the dialogues were in measuring changing attitudes as the workshop progressed.

37 Engagement to build and strengthen relationships with IGDS St Augustine alumni. After graduating, alumni continue to be a part of the IGDS community, where possible. Alumni are invited to attend and encouraged to participate in fora and symposium. Opportunities have been made available to alumni in teaching, research and outreach. In addition, many IGDS alumni work with IGDS partners, groups and organizations and interact with the IGDS in their chosen career paths.

The UWI Marketing and Communications are currently organizing interviews with IGDS alumni to underline and understand some of the following questions: How has UWI impacted your life? Personal and professional? What advice would you give to new students? What’s the one thing you enjoyed most at UWI?

Fundraising for future needs along with our alumni and allies in the community.

The choice of new board members would ideally fit the strategic direction of the IGDS for the next five years, and help direct mainstreaming of our visibility, growth and impact in relation to the Triple A goals of the UWI Strategic Plan (Access, Alignment, Agility): An explicit focus on identifying the impact of IGDS St Augustine research and outreach, for example, building in a summary of research impact into graduate students’ final output. These are to be published in a bi-annual booklet titled IGDS Impact. It also involves building IGDS brand visibility, particularly with our #sparkfeminism, Instagram and poster outreach, T-shirts and workshops.
