Feminist Organizations

Abstract

The Red Thread Women’s Development Organization was formed in Guyana in the mid-1980s by seven activists in response to the country’s political situation. Nurturing women to become politically engaged was, in their minds, a way to oppose factionalism and repression. Initially, the group of women worked in the community, providing basic education to women in craft design and production (hence the name Red Thread). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
