Acceptance Speech at The 35th Session of the Heads of Government Meeting CARICOM Antigua and Barbuda Tuesday, July 1, 2014

I commence with a heartfelt recognition of the plight of the young high-school girls of Chibok, Borno State, abducted in April of this year, the two teenaged Indian girls raped and hanged in Uttar Pradesh in May and the 25 year old pregnant Pakistani woman stoned to death in May for marrying against her family’s wishes. The poem of Mahadai Das of Guyana, My Finer Steel Will Grow, aptly describes despair and hope as we confront the issue of gender-based violence. I will read the poem in order to keep the memory of the girls and this young woman alive.
