We honour Angel Lutchman, a 42-year-old mother of two whose life was taken in the midst of the 16 Days of Activism—a time when the world is meant to stand against gender-based violence.
Angel lived through a relationship of threats and abuse. Four months after her partner vowed to take her life, he followed through, leaving her child to face the unimaginable.

Her story is a devastating reminder that GBV doesn’t pause for awareness campaigns, marches, or advocacy weeks. It continues daily—and it takes mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends from us without warning.

Angel deserved safety.
She deserved protection.
She deserved to live.

We carry her memory forward as a call to action: we must intervene earlier, respond faster, and build systems that save women’s lives.

We honour Romona Victor, a 36-year-old mother and local government representative for Siparia East/San Francique South.

Romona was a woman of ambition, service, and purpose—balancing motherhood with the responsibility of representing her community.

Her life was taken by intimate partner violence inside her own home, a place where she should have been safe. Her death echoes the urgent need for stronger protections for women, regardless of status, age, or achievement.

Romona’s leadership, her love for her son, and her commitment to her community will not be forgotten.
We say her name.
We demand better.
We honour her life by fighting for those still at risk.

Today we honour Gangadaye Manichean, an 81 year old elder whose life was violently taken in the place she should have felt safest- her own home.
Her story reminds us that GBV harms women across every age, community and walk of life.

We say her name. We honour her life. We fight for a world where our elders grow old in peace, not fear.

This Sunday heed the Call for Peace! Join us at the Vigil for Peace on Sunday November 9th at Woodford Square, Port of Spain from 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm.

We deserve to live free from conflict, violence and war. Women and girls suffer disproportionately under war conditions from sexual violence to compromised reproductive health care.

Now is not the time to be silent 🕯️

This weekend we had the fabulous opportunity to partner with for their debut in Trinidad and Tobago. The show, an educational performance piece on also encompassed the intersectionality of racism, migration and parenting. At one point a performer demonstrated our collective frustration at the onslaught of violence against women and girls by trying, to no avail, to escape the news of femicides. FELT 🧡💜

Big congratulations to the cast and team behind the scenes for a job well done! Special thanks to Dr. Roz for her vision and commitment to support women and girls👏🏼👏🏿👏🏻

In 2020, we marched with Warao Nation and folks from the Cross Rhodes Freedom Project demanding the removal of the Christopher Columbus. Last year our youngest member spoke truth to power at the National Consultation to Remove and Rename Colonial Statues and Monuments. This Emancipation hit different ✊🏽🇹🇹⛓️‍💥

WOMANTRA joins the artistic and activist communities in honouring the memory and contributions of Zinnia Li (Cheewah).

In 2020 during the Trinidad and Tobago Black Lives Matter movement we collaborated with Li to create a series of these posters, which mapped all the areas that participated in the 'Morvant 3' protests throughout the country.

This is just one example of Li's genius, which we have had the privilege of witnessing over the decades.

Zinnia Li, we remember you ✊🏽
