DOMESTIC violence is a pervasive part of modern society. The upcoming performing arts public education production Sistas Calling TT is therapist Dr Roz Roach’s attempt to educate the public about this problem and change the psyche of the society. The event will take place at the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA) on October 25.

Speaking at the launch of the production at NAPA on October 9, Roach said she had been researching domestic violence and working with survivors in Canada and Trinidad and Tobago since the 1980s.

“I’ve done several studies and surveys across Canada and when I ask what can help to decrease domestic violence, people say, education, education, education. The issue is changing lives, we need to change lives. We will be making noise because we want to penetrate your psyche and change it.”
