CARICOM CAN DO IT!

EVERYONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE CARICAN is WOMANTRA's contribution to a Call to Action by the Catch-A-Fyah Caribbean Feminist Network, in response to recent mob-killings of gay and transgender Caribbean citizens in Haiti and Jamaica. Using Rosie the Riveter as a theme, the tagline "We Can Do It", is an attempt to lobby CARICOM governments to take a clear position on homophobic and transphobic violence. Contributors are asked to wear their flags as a head tie and pump their muscles for peace. All photos will be published on August 19th as part of a collection action across the region.

As we continuously work towards a peaceful, violent free and harmonious society,it is therefore necessary to protect and include all members of the society and that includes the LGBT community. Barbados and the Caribbean at large need to take a clear position to end all forms of homophobia and transphobia as it brings us a step closer to harmonious living.
