‘It touched the hearts of so many people’

Following the murder of a Japanese woman at carnival in Trinidad and Tobago, the mayor of Port of Spain said “women have a responsibility to ensure they are not abused during the Carnival season.”

Thousands of people signed an online petition calling for his resignation.

Attillah Springer organised a protest calling for the same thing. She spoke to ˿ Trending about why she felt moved to do something.

Produced by Emma Wilson and Anisa Subedar.
