On this episode, we look at how efforts in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean are organising to get the death penalty remove from their constitution. We spoke to Annetta Jackson, attorney at law, from Antigua and Barbuda, on how the death penalty works in the anglophone Caribbean and the history of how gender has influence sentencing in the Caribbean especially death sentencing. Ms. Jackson also explain the work of Greater Caribbean For Life and their project “Building a Platform for Abolition Strengthening the Anti-Death Penalty Movement in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean”; and the intersectionality between gender and law and how that relationship affects gender relations in the today’s Caribbean society. She also spoke a bit about the work that the collective she's a part of, Intersect Antigua, is doing by connecting Queeribbean and Caribbean Feminists through storytelling, art, & advocacy.
