Patricia Sheerattan-Bisnauth, CEO of the Caribbean Family Planning Affiliation, emphasizes the transformative vision needed to create lasting change:&nbsp;<em>\u201cAddressing violence is not just about responding to harm; it\u2019s about reimagining a society rooted in love, dignity, respect, and equality. This means amplifying survivors&#8217; voices, challenging harmful religious teachings and cultural norms, and holding systems accountable to protect the most vulnerable among us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>True unity demands more than statements; it calls for deliberate, courageous action. It requires crafting policies that safeguard the vulnerable, establishing services that heal, and nurturing communities grounded in empathy and safety. It also means equipping the next generation with values of equality and respect, inspiring them to carry forward the fight for justice.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2264899634\" class=\"antig-content_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.courts.com\/antigua\/\" aria-label=\"500X500\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:500\/h:500\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:150\/h:150\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/500X500.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, as we honour the resilience of survivors and the relentless work of advocates, let us remember that the power to end violence resides in collective resolve.
