The month of April marks 20 years since the first observation of Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month in the Territory.
This year’s theme is ‘20 Years of Prevention, Protection and Awareness’.
Rebuilding the Village
In a message on the Virgin Islands Party 1971 Facebook page on April 28, 2023, Dr Wheatley also said the Government will be working on “rebuilding the Village” where everyone looks out for the welfare of the child.
“As Premier of the Virgin Islands, the role of us individually and collectively should focus on legacy building. The importance of investing time now, even as we work on rebuilding the Village which will shape them and the next generation for years to come.”
Dr Wheatley also said it is important to highlight the diligence of those professionals who work hand in hand “to build a better BVI - Building Together: Prevention in Partnership.”
