Redefining Work

The Redefining Work Series focuses on the realities of workers and the resistance to recognizing their autonomy in the workplace. It centers actions to enforce safety, care, resources, and support for workers and communities against hazardous and exploitative work practices.

In the Caribbean, harmful working conditions persist, resulting in detrimental outcomes for workers for financial profits. This series serves as a platform to address workers’ challenges and unsafe work practices and call for a shift to equitable, gender- responsive, and inclusive working environments.

Our objectives focus on public education and awareness, mobilization and solidarity within communities, thorough and inclusive research and analysis, and the development of policy recommendations to protect workers and communities.

Through a gender-responsive lens, this project aims to address how workers are continually impacted by harmful and hazardous working conditions and to a greater extent, how such conditions pose imminent risks for all forms of life and the environment.
