MP encourages women in fisheries
In recognition of International Day of Rural Women, which was celebrated on Friday 25th October 2024 an award ceremony for women in fisheries was held at the Parliamentary Complex Trinidad. The award ceremony was part of 17 days of Activism for Rural Women activities which were coordinated by the Network of Rural Women Producers of Trinidad and Tobago, led by President Gia Gasparad. MP for Tobago East and Minister for the Ministry of Gender and Child Affairs Ayanna Webster Roy said women can enter male-denominated fields and thrive. She shared that the success of these women can serve as motivation for other young ladies, breaking stereotypes about women within the industry.
