1. The Caribbean and Coronavirus: Family Violence

Research has shown that violence against women and children (VAWC)-particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) and severe punishment of children- tend to increase during times of stress and restriction of movements, such as during epidemics. In this webinar, participants will better understand why periods of high stress can cause violence to increase, particular risk factors as well as what families and individuals in the Caribbean can do to cope.
The webinar will be moderated by Golda Lee Bruce, IDB Caribbean Development and will feature the following panelists:

• Laurence Telson, Operations Senior Specialist, Gender & Diveristy Division, IDB
• Dr. Peter Neller, Clinical Psychologist at Caribbean Therapist
• Prof. Opal Palmer Adisa, Director of the Institute for Gender & Development Studies, RCO, UWI Mona
