Gender-based violence remains a pervasive challenge across Trinidad and Tobago, Canada, and the Caribbean, impacting families, youth, and communities both offline and online. As digital connectivity grows, Technology-Facilitated Gender-Based Violence (TFGBV) is increasing, spreading harm across borders with ease. This campaign, supported by the High Commission of Canada through Global Affairs Canada, highlights the urgent need for prevention, education, and collective responsibility, especially engaging men, boys, and young people. Through advocacy, art, and regional research with ECLAC and ParlAmericas, the UN is working to strengthen awareness, mitigate risks, and build safer digital environments. Together, we can promote respect, protect vulnerable groups, and help end GBV in all its forms, online and offline. #16Days #UNiTE #EndDigitalViolence #CaribbeanAgainstGBV Partners & Contributors: We extend our deepest gratitude to the individuals, agencies and organisations that made this campaign possible: Global Affairs Canada The Canadian High Commission (Trinidad and Tobago) Ms. Joanna Kazana-Wisniowiecki, UN Resident Coordinator The Children’s Authority of Trinidad and Tobago The Cybercrime and Social Media Unit, Trinidad and Tobago Police Service The Gender Affairs Division, Ministry of the People, Social Development and Family Services The National Carnival Commission (Use of the Grand Stand wall for the mural) Ms. Chantal La Roche, Director, Legal Services, Parliament of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago Nimah Muwakil-Zakuri, Project Consultant Lucille Nathu, Project Assistant Millenial Studios Limited, Videography Ayrïd By Design, Graphic Design Michelle Isava, Artist (Zine Workshop) Nadya Shah, Lead Mural Artist Chioke Herbert, Collaborating Artist Richard Taylor, Collaborating Artist Brandon Hilton-Clarke, Collaborating Artist Joanne Harris, Catering Carol Duprey, Catering Kamaria Charles Richards, Pannist Gabrielle Jackson, Spokesperson for Student Volunteers Andrea Jackson, Volunteer Parent Other Student Volunteers For more about UNFPA's work in the Caribbean, visit: https://caribbean.unfpa.org/en Follow UNFPA Sub Regional Office for the Caribbean here: Facebook: / unfpacaribbean Instagram: / unfpacaribbean X: / unfpacaribbean
