Dr Asha Kambon, public policy expert and board member of the Emancipation Support Committee, has issued a call to action to help the women of Sea Lots, Port of Spain, deliver peace to their community.

Residents of Sea Lots claimed they have been subjected to violent attacks from people living in other areas of their community, and there were concerns of an escalation between those who live along the Beetham Highway and those of Pioneer Drive.

On March 5, approximately 35 women from Pioneer Drive went to the Police Administration Building on Edward Street to complain to acting Commissioner of Police Junior Benjamin that the highway residents were slapping and robbing them whenever they passed. They also claimed there had been attacks on young men in the area on Carnival Monday and Tuesday.
