Changing attitudes towards child abuse

“There is absolutely no excuse for any form of child abuse,” is the stance taken by Member of Parliament for Tobago East and Minister in the Office of the Prime Minister for Gender and Child Affairs, Ayanna Webster-Roy. She explained that child abuse is destructive to society but continues due to the mentality of some people. The Ministry launched the “In the Know” campaign for Child Abuse Awareness Month to change that mentality.
