Saying?that he has utmost respect for women, entertainer Richard Stoute has released a CD condemning violence against women.
The producer of the annual Richard Stoute Teen Talent contest also said he would donate part of the sales to one of the women’s organizations.
He was speaking at a Press briefing called yesterday to launch the self-penned track entitled Stop The Abuse Of Women at the Clement Payne Centre in Crumpton Street, St Michael.
The song was recorded at the Dale Husbands Studio and produced by Husbands.
Receiving copies of the CD were Rashida Beckles, volunteer and regional representative of the Business and Professional Women’s Club, and Barbara Daniel-Goddard, counsellor of the Service Alliance for Violence Encounters (The SAVE Foundation).
“Too many of our womenfolk are dying at the hand of violence. If we continue to overlook these things, they will continue to happen. I hope that this song sends a message to the men to be appreciative and more thoughtful before they take a life,” said Stoute. (JS)
