Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For many years the staff of the Antigua & Barbuda Transport Board, has been crying out for help.<\/p>\n

The constant victimisation\u00a0 has become overly unbearable.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

For years the female employees of this organization has been prey for an individual who sexually assaults us.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

About 4 weeks ago a team of investigators, were put in place to interview both male and female of this organization.<\/p>\n

Numerous meetings were held with many authorities, would you believe after such an intense investigation the said individual was placed right back to his post as if nothing happened.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Where are the rights of these females and males who are also victims?<\/p>\n

Who do we turn to?<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It is time that the staff are taken seriously, no woman should ever feel a sense of fear coming to work not knowing when she will fall target.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

We are urging the present Minister, tourism isn’t your only ministry please try to lend an ear to us as well.<\/p>\n

This organization is in a serious mess, the clean up is long overdue.<\/p>\n

Everyday we make it our business to show up because this is our means of survival.<\/p>\n

However it has become very hard, working in an organization where our mental health is at risk.<\/p>\n

We are begging for some sort of positive outcome from this matter.<\/p>\n
