PROJECT LAUNCHED TO TACKLE HOMOPHOBIC VIOLENCE

Quote:
The Caribbean Anti-Violence Project (CAVP), an initiative of the University of the West Indies (UWI), is to launch a web-based documentation project to record incidents of harassment and violence based on homophobia, gender and HIV-related stigma.

The launch comes on the heels of increasing incidents of homophobia, prejudice and violence in the region.

...

“I encourage all Caribbean people who may have experienced such regrettable incidents to report them online at www.CaribbeanAVP.org,” said Gareth Williams, a victim of police brutality at the mob attack on February 14 at a pharmacy in Half-Way-Tree, Jamaica.
