Caribbean Legislators Gather at Parlamericas Meeting in Saint Lucia to Raise Awareness About Gender-Based Political Harassment
Caribbean legislators gather at ParlAmericas meeting in Saint Lucia to raise awareness about gender-based political harassment For immediate release Castries, Saint Lucia, January 25, 2016 From January 26 to 27, legislators from more than 10 countries across the Caribbean and other Anglophone countries of the Americas will convene in Castries to exchange experiences and strategies to overcome the problem of gender-based political harassment. This inter- parliamentary meeting, titled Gender-based Political Harassment: Building Awareness in Parliaments, is organized by the Group of Women Parliamentarians of ParlAmericas and is being hosted by the Government of Saint Lucia and presiding officers the Honourable Peter I. Foster, Speaker of the House of Assembly and the Honourable Claudius J. Francis, President of the Senate. The Honourable Alvina Reynolds, Minister responsible for Gender Relations, will also give remarks at the inauguration. ParlAmericas and the Saint Lucian delegation of former and current parliamentarians will welcome representatives of the legislatures of Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago. The delegates will be joined by subject matter experts from UN Women, the Inter- American Commission of Women of the Organization of American States, the Caribbean Institute of Women in Leadership, and the University of the West Indies. Political harassment, the topic being undertaken, refers to intimidation or violence targeting women active in public life, in ways which are both politically motivated and based on gender. In the context of parliamentary politics, this can be manifested as sexist language, biased media coverage, pressure to renounce elected office, and other forms of aggression.

The City of Kenner
CITY OF KENNER OFFICE OF THE MAYOR MICHAEL S. YENNI EMILE LAFOURCADE MAYOR ASSISTANT TO THE MAYOR, PUBLIC INFORMATION OFFICER FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 6, 2010 NICARAGUA ASSN. OF LA. SPONSORS SANTO DOMINGO FESTIVAL Patron of Managua, other Latin Nations Honored Kenner’s Heritage Park, in the heart of old Rivertown, will be the focal point Saturday, August 14,for the 10th annual observance of “El Tope de Santo Domingo,” Sponsored by the Nicaragua Association of Louisiana. Rafael Saddy, events coordinator for the organization, said the celebration, which runs from 3 to 10 p.m., will feature music and other entertainment, special Hispanic cuisine, folklore dances and dresses and the selection of a festival queen. Saddy said at the end of the 19th Century in Managua, there was the discovery of a small statuette of St. Dominic that was believed to have mystical powers and it soon became an object popularly sought after for viewing by a growing number of people. Dominic de Guzman was popular in the New World and New Orleans as the founder of the Dominican Order of priests and nuns. The Order of Preachers, as they are known, staffed a college, a high school and several church parishes in this region. But the small statuette in Managua, Saddy said, provoked the start and evolution of a massive traditional festivity there that is colorful and full of fervor and happiness which ultimately transformed into patron saint festivities of the capital city. Every August, mostly on the first days and on the tenth of the month several major streets in Managua are filled with people who come to celebrate “Minguito,” the festival of the fondly remembered little statuette.
