The Faculty of Law University of the West Indies Rights Advocacy Project convened a " Gender, Sexuality and Human Rights in the Caribbean Conference " on 7 June, 2013 at the Mona Campus, UWI, Jamaica. The sub theme of the conference was "Strengthening the Regional Human Rights Network and Strategizing Future Advocacy " 
I was invited to participate in a panel on "Harmonizing Advocacy: Lobbying, Litigating, and Grassroots organising"
I could not attend so I did this video presentation. This was a learning experience as I learned all of the pitfalls of bad lighting, sound issues and unscripted recordings which resulted in incoherent statements in some parts. However, I hope that the points are made and are useful in the discussion of advocacy strategies for LGBT equality in the Caribbean.
