Isi artikel

While marginalisation is a term usually used to refer to the experience of young Caribbean men, it is women who are the poorest and most economically exploited. Youth activists in Trinidad are primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health issues but do not generally address issues to do with women’s rights and equity, while feminist organisations focus on personal issues and do not make links with the wider political context. At the moment, it is the land rights movements and particularly the opposition to the construction of aluminium smelters that offer the best hope for politicising, empowering and uniting young men and women in the Caribbean.
