We, the NNP Women’s Arm, are saddened by the tragic loss of Esther Patterson, a bright young student from Carriacou.
Our deepest sympathies go out to Esther’s family, friends, and everyone touched by this devastating event.
Esther’s untimely departure is a grim reminder of the challenges we face in combating sexual violence and aggression towards women and girls in our community. This moment calls for us to unite and reaffirm our commitment to eradicating such acts of violence.
In honour of Esther and others who have suffered similar fates, we urge our community to come together to foster an environment where respect and care for one another are paramount. Let us all advocate for change and support systems that protect the vulnerable and promote healing for those affected.
The NNP Women’s Arm pledges to continue our work in creating safer spaces for women and girls. We stand ready to support those in need and to champion initiatives that aim at preventing violence and aiding recovery.
We call on everyone to join us in this critical mission. Let’s commit to being part of the solution, through education, awareness, and action. Together, we can fight against sexual violence and build a future marked by compassion and security for all.
In this moment of sorrow, let us also find strength in unity and hope for a better tomorrow.
With compassion and resolve,
NNP Women’s Arm
Domestic violence continues as a monster that should not be condoned. The discussion must also involve how we teach consideration and respect in relationships. How we socialize our young men and women needs serious attention.
