Trinidad & Tobago: Victim Speaks Out Against Registry
This opinion piece was just published on Trinidad’s Newsday site. It was written by Angelique V. Nixon, a victim. She asks: “Does a sex register actually solve and prevent sexual offences?

Trinidad is currently debating a bill that would strengthen the country’s sex offender registry. It has seen plenty of online opposition.
