Marigot--- Friends of the family of murder victims Nejumbia Fleming (Nubby) (21) and her 15 months old daughter Ronelyia Fleming are planning to hold a candlelit march on Tuesday evening in the hope of sending a strong message to young men and women in the community.Organizer and spokeswoman Aline Choisy said they need to send a message which is to stop the violence and break the silence on domestic violence. The march is scheduled to begin at the residence of the victims on Rue de Hollande St. James to the Waterfront and back. Starting time is 7pm sharp.
Reason behind the march Choisy said is because the elder victim Nejumbia Fleming who was brutally murdered early Thursday morning endured years of domestic violence but she was silent on the matter. The 21 year old woman who was living next door to several family members never discussed the extent of the abuse she received from her boyfriend and baby father Choisy said.
Choisy said she already began talking with some of the Associations on the Dutch side that deals with domestic violence to join the march on Tuesday night. She said she intended to make her plea on the several radio stations on both sides of the island over the weekend and on Monday. Choisy is also planning to create an association in the name of the victim "Association Nejumbia" which would cater to abused women on the French side of the island. She is also calling on women in the community to make contact with her on Tuesday night so that they can have the required amount of members to finalize the paperwork for the Association.
