DV A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE

Clinical Psychologist Dr Valini Pundit says domestic violence is a psychological crisis and public health issue and more has to be done to educate children and support victims.

She was part of a press conference called by attorney-at-law Prakash Ramadhar on Friday morning at his Lord street, San Fernando office.

Ramadhar says together with Dr Pundit and President of the Assembly of Southern Lawyers Saira Lakhan, they will be volunteering themselves to work with interested groups and schools to run education campaigns on awareness, prevention and what help is already available.
