Reflections on the Women's Movement in Trinidad: Calypsos, Changes and Sexual Violence
Patricia Mohammed has been an activist in the women's movement in Trinidad for a number of years and was previously co-ordinator of the Rape Crisis Centre there. She was involved in setting up the Women's Studies Programme at the University of the West Indies. She is based at St Augustine's campus in Trinidad but is currently registered for a Ph.D at the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague. Her research is on women in Trinidad.
The original version of this article was a paper prepared for the Women and Development Unit's Tenth Annual Consultation and Symposium 'Crisis and Challenges', held in November 1988 in Barbados. The original has been published in Caribbean Quarterly, The Journal of the West Indies, Jamaica.
Thanks to Kim Nicholas Johnson whose ideas and discussions with me were invaluable in writing this paper.
