In Trinidad and Tobago, little data exists on child sexual abuse, although there are many anecdotal reports of high prevalence. The Breaking the Silence Gender and Community Empowerment Model is a multidisciplinary intervention to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse in Trinidad and Tobago. It is an innovative, gender-sensitive intervention that uses a community based action research methodology anchored in a national framework. Preliminary evaluation of the Breaking the Silence model shows increased knowledge of child sexual abuse, increased willingness to discuss child sexual abuse, and an impact that goes beyond the target communities. This model can be replicated in communities to prevent and respond to child sexual abuse and adapted to address other sensitive social issues in the Caribbean.
在特立尼达和多巴哥，虽然有许多关于儿童性虐待高发生率的传闻报道，但关于这方面的数据却很少。“打破沉默：性别与社区赋权模式”是一项多学科干预措施，旨在预防和应对特立尼达和多巴哥的儿童性虐待问题。这是一种创新的、对性别问题敏感的干预措施，采用基于社区的行动研究方法，并以国家框架为依托。对“打破沉默”模式的初步评估显示，人们对儿童性虐待的了解有所增加，讨论儿童性虐待问题的意愿增强，而且其影响超出了目标社区范围。该模式可在社区中复制，以预防和应对儿童性虐待问题，并可加以调整以解决加勒比地区的其他敏感社会问题。
