The Heroes Foundation is a Development Centre for Youth Leadership and Mentorship.

Ending violence and abuse also involves helping children engage in activities that build respect, camaraderie, and school spirit.

Today, the Heroes Team at Diego Martin North Secondary School hosted a mini sports day against bullying in school.

The idea came from their school presentations and workshops where they engaged their peers on ways to address bullying.

Special thanks to the principal, Ms. Sony Phillip , for supporting the children to make this project bigger than they could have imagined.

At least 1 in every 3 women in Trinidad and Tobago

At least 1 in every 3 women in Trinidad and Tobago has experienced intimate partner violence within their lifetime.

As part of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence, the Heroes Foundation stands in solidarity with the #SpotlightInitiative Trinidad and Tobago, civil society and women’s activists throughout our nation who are working to create a society free from violence against women and girls.

We must all come together to respond to and reduce gender-based violence by supporting our mothers, sisters, daughters, aunts, and wives and empowering our women and girls to speak up and speak out.

Children and youth should be listened to when they speak about issues important to them.

We've worked with over 500 local and migrant children and youth this year to address violence and abuse in Trinidad and Tobago.

For us, it's essential to empower them to lead on solutions to the problem they experience, with support and guidance to achieve the best impact.

The campaigns that we're sharing are their words and experiences. The projects they are implementing are their way of creating positive change.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work. Special thanks to our partners:

We all have a part to play in ending violence and abuse.

Our CEO @lawrie.story joined @anyanwuchild of @wearefreetown and @loveovereverything.love to talk about how men and boys can work to end rape culture with @blazemogul on @slam1005fm this morning.

Some points from that discussion:

1. Rape culture isn't just about the violent act. It involves the catcalling, grooming, and conditioning of men and women, boys and girls, that leads to rape.

2. No one "looks" for rape or any form of violence and abuse. No one wants that.

3. Men, put yourself in the position of women. Do you want women you're not interested in harassing you on the road? Do you want other men calling you out and harassing you when you walk down the street?

4. Children do not have the information necessary to make sensible decisions about sex. Children should never be engaged for sex or any sexual activity. Sex isn't just about pleasure. There are mental and emotional implications that are often more problematic than the physical implications, not to mention things like STDs and pregnancy.

How can you help?

✨️ Support organisations working to end violence and abuse or to support survivors of violence and abuse.

✨️ LISTEN: to children, to survivors, to people when they share their concerns or ask you to do something differently. We can all help someone in need, and sometimes, we may need to be open to changing ourselves as well.

✨️ Think about your actions and how they impact others. We may not be aware of all the effects of what we do.

✨️ Report or get help if you are experience or witnessing violence and abuse. Here are some numbers to call:
POLICE: 999
CHILDREN'S AUTHORITY: 996
CHILDLINE: 131
RAPE CRISIS CENTRE: 627-7273
