Although the Caribbean has the second largest population of people of African descent outside of Africa, the ways that race, specifically blackness, intersect and shape experiences of GBV and prevention programmes is significantly under-explored. The UN Sustainable Development Goal 5 (UNSDG5) promotes gender equality, yet critics argue that development and its goals are structured around the reproduction and extension of difference, inequality, exclusion and exploitation (Wilson, 2017; White 2002). Thus, Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), with its conspicuously diverse population (including African, Asian, Indigenous, European and Creole) is the case study. This research aims to: explore how race, gender and violence intersect in T&T and identify the impact it has on organisations mitigating GBV and individuals experiencing violence.This research builds from my MSc dissertation which located formations of racialised disempowerment for Afro-Brazilian women's activists such as intra-social groups practicing colourism and national agendas that historically silence the violent, racialised realities of black women. As a part of my Master's I received mentoring from GBV-intervention specialists and completed the module Public Affairs, International Development and Gendered Violence (Distinction). As a Vincentian woman, my passion about Caribbean women's issues has developed into research consultancies, an influential blog (@TashasParadise) and a network of contacts including my partner organisations: Wholeness and Wellness Counselling Services (WWCS), Conflict Women and Women's Institute for AlternativeDevelopment (WINAD).

尽管加勒比拥有非洲以外第二多的非洲人后裔人口，但种族，特别是黑人，如何交汇和塑造基于性别的暴力和预防方案的经验却严重不足。联合国可持续发展目标5(UNSDG5)促进性别平等，但批评者认为，发展及其目标是围绕差异、不平等、排斥和剥削的再现和延伸而构建的(威尔逊，2017；怀特2002)。因此，特立尼达和多巴哥(T&T)是一个案例，它的人口非常多样化(包括非洲人、亚洲人、土著居民、欧洲人和克里奥尔人)。这项研究旨在：探索种族、性别和暴力是如何在T&T中交叉的，并确定它对减轻基于性别的暴力的组织和经历暴力的个人的影响。这项研究建立在我的硕士论文基础上，我的硕士论文定位了非裔巴西妇女活动家的种族主义剥夺权力的形式，如实行肤色和国家议程的内部社会团体，这些组织历史上压制了黑人女性的暴力和种族主义现实。作为我硕士课程的一部分，我接受了GBV干预专家的指导，并完成了公共事务、国际发展和性别暴力(区分)模块。作为一名文森女性，我对加勒比妇女问题的热情已经发展成为研究咨询公司、一个有影响力的博客(@TashasParadise)和一个联系网络，包括我的伙伴组织：整体与健康咨询服务(WWCS)、冲突妇女和妇女替代发展研究所(WINAD)。
