The Red Shoe Project is set to take centre stage from today as part of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-based Violence (GBV).
The project is being coordinated by the Office of the European Union for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, in collaboration with the Bureau of Gender Affairs of the Ministry of People Empowerment and Elder Affairs, the National Cultural Foundation, and the University of the West Indies’ Institute of Gender and Development Studies.
The Red Shoes Project is an art installation that seeks to honour victims, support survivors, and call attention to the urgency of eradicating GBV.
The Red-painted shoes will be on display from today until December 10, at several locations including the European Union Delegation, the Ministry of People Empowerment, UWI Cave Hill, Barbados Community College, and the Barbados Museum and Historical Society.
