Prominent women form new group called WHOW, geared at tackling issues of abuse against women and girls

A group of prominent women in the Dominican society have come together to form a group called WHOW, Women Helping Other Women, geared at addressing the issue of increasing abuse against women & girls.
 
Consultant Ophthalmologist, Dr. Hazel Shillingford-Ricketts, is one member of the new organization.
 
She says while this is not a new issue, a recent sex scandal involving three adult males and a minor, has sparked public outrage and drew them together to form the grouping geared at initiating change.
 
This is not another 'Talk shop' said Shillingford-Ricketts.
