00:00Minister of Gender and Child Affairs Ayanna Webster-Roy is pleased with government's progress as it relates to gender equality.
00:06She brought greetings at the Office of the Prime Minister's International Women's Day breakfast meeting this morning.
00:13I'm proud to be part of a cabinet and a team that has placed at the forefront of our national development of women and
00:20the needs, desires and inspiration of the women of Trinidad and Tobago.
00:24And I'm particularly proud to have alongside us in the cabinet
00:30men who have been part of the journey, part of the process of
00:35ensuring our women and girls in Trinidad and Tobago have the opportunity to thrive.
00:40Webster-Roy heralded one key initiative of her ministry, the Survivors Retransformation Program.
00:48Those persons who would have been affected by gender-based violence would be able to access
00:53funding either through a grant scholarship or
00:57funding to be able to promote a business opportunity up to the tune of $10,000.
01:02For those NGOs working alongside us in the fight to end gender-based violence in Trinidad and Tobago,
01:09there's the opportunity to receive grant funding up to
01:13$50,000 and all we ask is for you to work with a minimum of 10 survivors.
01:20Still to come...
