Struggles:

  • high murder rate (43)

“Having worked for 34 years as prosecutor, defence counsel, trial judge and appellate judge, I know all too well that women falling victim to serial rapists and murderers, or disappearing without a trace, is not a new phenomenon in our criminal landscape. Andrea and Ashanti were the two most recent victims of men we call monsters, but if monsters, monsters of our own making.”

-Paula Mae Weekes

“T&T is responsible for nurturing such monsters by failing to effectively socialise them in homes and schools and providing them with a social safety net to address their issues.”

-Paula Mae Weekes
