Support group calls for more help for women

Sascha Wil­son

Wid­ow Sup­port TT is call­ing for an in­crease in the wid­ow’s grant and stronger sup­port for women who, af­ter los­ing their hus­bands, are forced to fight cost­ly prop­er­ty bat­tles—with some even fac­ing gun vi­o­lence in their strug­gle to keep their fam­i­ly homes.

Pres­i­dent So­raya Nanan and vice pres­i­dent An­n­marie Has­sanali were speak­ing with re­porters yes­ter­day at the Oropouche Com­mu­ni­ty Cen­tre, af­ter de­liv­er­ing two food ham­pers for Geneive Pierre, a wid­ow who has been liv­ing tem­porar­i­ly at the cen­tre.
