Ordinary Household Items Becoming Instruments of Torture

In the last blog, we promised you an excerpt of Indrani’s TEDxPortofSpain Talk every day until the public release of her entire talk in the coming weeks.

Here is the second excerpt from Indrani’s TEDxPortofSpain Talk:

TOOLS OF TORTURE.

“I had the great fortune to speak to a group of young people here on the Island …all top students from the best schools.

I asked them they were experiencing violence at home. EVERY one raised their hand.

I then asked what weapons were being used…

Here is a short list

  • LARGE SPOONS
  • SHOES
  • BELTS
  • HANGERS
  • SHOVELS

ORDINARY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS BECOMING INSTRUMENTS OF TORTURE.”
