The aim of this IBD funded study has been to investigate the status
of Guyanese women’s reproductive and sexual health, both their knowledge
of and practices related to these aspects of their health, as well as
to make explicit the links between Guyanese women’s health and human
rights. All analysis has been completed and two articles for submission
to Health and Place and Social Science and Medicine have been drafted.
A report has also been given to the IDB, Ministry of Health and UNIFEM
in Guyana.
- A number of articles on women and
domestic violence in the Caribbean that arise from my most recent SSHRC
funded research in Guyana. Providing data for this study required interviewing
over 500 women producing the most comprehensive data base on domestic
violence produced in the Caribbean. A report has already been given
to the IDB. Articles will be written for Feminist Review, Antipode,
