COMMUNITY CORNER Gender Affairs Moves to Tackle Domestic Violence The months of November and December were busy ones for the Gender Affairs Department, as they spearheaded several initia- tives to tackle Domestic Violence in the Federation, as well as bring Gender issues to the forefront.

On November 28th, the Depart- ment launched the Domestic and Sexual Violence Complaints and Response Protocol – a document which guides key agencies on procedures for addressing inci- dents of domestic violence.
Ac- cording to Ms. Shinnel Charles, Gender Affairs’ Focal point for Women’s Issues, the major or- ganizations involved in such cases are the Hospital/health care agencies, the Police Force Special Victims Unit, the Counselling Centre, the Ministry of Education (for youth), as well as the Dept.

She also stated that the protocol would address coordination between these agencies, as well as procedures for intake, inter- vention and referral.

The PAHO-funded event was held at the Bird Rock Beach Hotel and received the full sup- port of Minister Wendy Phipps, Minister with responsi- bility for Gender Affairs, as well as many local stakeholders.
In delivering remarks, Minister Phipps emphasized the im- portance of the document, not- ing that it would “make sure there is unity and collaboration in getting us the kind of St. Kitts-Nevis where we can strongly say that we have a social system and infrastructure that support individuals when acts of violence take place”.
Following on the heels of the Protocol launch, the Department introduced discussions on the National Gender Equality Policy on November 29th, in collabo- ration with the SKN Na- tional Commission for UNESCO, who provided funding and support for the project.
The ceremony, which was also held at Bird Rock Beach Hotel, also saw support from Ministers Phipps… (cont’d on pg 4) Counselling Centre Moves Offices The Counselling Centre, which Community Family and Youth for years has been located at Resilience (CFYR) Family Mat- Greenlands, has moved to a ters Programme.

He noted that the Week received a lot of support from businesses and schools, and that the Department hoped to have even more support in 2019.
As one of the lead advocates for children’s rights in St. Kitts, the Department of Pro- bation and Child Protection Services (PCPS) hosted sever- al activities to commemorate the week and to raise aware- ness of the need to protect children from harm.

The student who obtained a Grade 1 in POB that year also obtained a in English B grade (Literature).

This was accom- plished as a result of his dili- gence and the dedication of his teacher who was supported with input from the then Head of the English Department of the Verchilds High School, Mrs. Jonace Hall-Herbert.

The academic programme con- tinues to forge ahead and re- ceived exceptionally good re- sults in the May 2018 CXC- CSEC Examinations.
Students were registered to write Mathe- matics, Social Studies and Of- fice Administration, the latter having been introduced into the curriculum only in September 2017.

Grades 3 and 2 were re- turned in all three subjects; but special kudos must be given to the Mathematics teacher who dedicated personal time and whose hard work resulted in one student obtaining a grade 2 after only 1 year of instruction.
This is especially remarkable as Mathe- matics is a subject that presents major challenges to students na- tionally.

The efforts of the three- man team of teachers, Mrs. Mary Clarke, Mr. Clyde Williams and Ms. G. D. Richards were amply rewarded with the satisfaction they received on hearing that the Centre had returned a 100% pass rate for the May 2018 examina- tions.

To date 11 residents of NHRC have been registered to write 6 subjects, and have amassed 31 subject passes.

(Source: www.youthforhumanrights.com) Volu me 2, Issue 1 SCHOOL IN SESSION Page 9 CHILD ABUSE Any intentional harm or mistreatment to a child under 18 years old is considered child abuse.
Child abuse takes many forms, which often occur at the same time.

 Physical abuse.

Physical child abuse occurs when a child is purposely physically injured or put at risk of harm by another person.

 Sexual abuse.

Sexual child abuse is any sexual activity with a child, such as fondling, oral-genital contact, inter- course, exploitation or exposure to child pornography.

 Emotional abuse.

Emotional child abuse means injuring a child's self-esteem or emotional well-being.
It includes verbal and emotional assault — such as continually belittling or berating a child — as well as isolating, ignoring or rejecting a child.

 Neglect.

Child neglect is failure to provide adequate food, shelter, affection, supervision, education, or dental or medical care.

In many cases, child abuse is done by someone the child knows and trusts — often a parent or other relative.

A child who's being abused may feel guilty, ashamed or confused.
He or she may be afraid to tell anyone about the abuse, espe- cially if the abuser is a parent, other relative or family friend.
That's why it's vital to watch for RED FLAGS, such as: WARNING SIGNS  Withdrawal from friends or usual activities  Inappropriate sexual behaviour/knowledge for age  Changes in behavior — such as aggression, acting out  Pregnancy or a sexually transmitted infection  Depression, anxiety or unusual fears, low self esteem  Desperate need for affection  An apparent lack of supervision  Decrease in school performance or interest in school  Frequent absences from school  Poor hygiene; inappropriate clothing for situation  Running away/reluctance to go home.
 Self-harm or attempts at suicide  Unexplained injuries, e.g bruises, fractures or burns  Injuries that don't match the given explanation  Taking food or money without permission  Hiding food for later  Lack of necessary medical care/follow-up If you suspect that a child is being abused or neglected, kindly contact the Probation & Child Protection Services Department at 467-1311 Page 10 ON DE PLAYGROUND Volu me 2, Issue 1 (Author: Unknown) Contributed by Andrea Douglas        1/2 cup melted butter or 1 stick 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 1/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 3/4 cup flour 1/4 tsp salt contributed by J.
