Zandoli International Foundation is lobbying organizations throughout the Caribbean to petition their governments to encourage them to set up individual Sex Offender Registries.
“We have made calls for a Sex Offender Registry in Barbados last week and we are working with a number of regional organizations which are all poised to petition their respective governments,” Communications Director of Zandoli International Foundation Norbert Williams said.
The Foundation has also formed an organization with members throughout the Caribbean called Caribbean Committee Against Sex Crimes, which is being chaired by a Trinidad attorney.
During the past year, Zandoli International Foundation has also been working on a treaty which it plans to present to CARICOM towards the end of this year for consideration of a Regional Sex Offenders Registry.
Williams said his organization is taking swift action because the Caribbean sex industry is growing rapidly and in some cases children are also involved in these illegal activities.
