Domestic violence continues to be of grave concern to my administration. In discussions with the Minister of Human Services and Social Security, Dr Vindhya Persaud, and Baroness Patricia Scotland, we have agreed to launch a systemic, national-scale approach to address this issue.
I have asked Baroness Scotland—who has done extensive work on this matter during her tenure as Commonwealth Secretary-General—to work with the Ministry to further strengthen our national plan and implement a systematic, programmatic action plan. We cannot continue to lose lives senselessly.
The Minister and her team have already implemented a range of initiatives, which will serve as the foundation for our expanded efforts. Together, we must all take proactive action to confront this issue.
