These objectives were taught through three major sub-topics;

The topic is a combination of two factors which aids in the manifestation of our Caribbean identity. According to Dr Zuleyka Zevallos, an Australian sociologist, "sexuality is the description of ones sexual identity, attraction, and experiences which may or may not relate with sex and gender. This includes but is not limited to heterosexuality, homosexuality (gay or lesbian), bisexuality, queer and so on. Sex and gender do not always align. Just as gender is a social construction, so too is sexuality. This is another way of saying sexuality is socially determined and it varies in its expression across culture, time, and place."
Through this portfolio one will gain knowledge of the roles of Caribbean women through time, from the pre-colonial era to present. Since much focus was not aimed on the roles of women in the course, this portfolio shall give a better understanding of the turmoil women underwent to become where they are in today's society. 
The dynamic diversity of changes in the roles of Caribbean women can be analyzed through many factors such as, a review of Caribbean women, that is indigenous civilizations, African women and Indian women, analyzing traditional matrifocality, contemporary Caribbean women

Caribbean women are a major factor in the success, development and diversity of the Caribbean society presently. The Indo-Trinidadian community have developed themselves, leaving behind the dominant patriarchal practice. They are now seen as equals and the women are quite successful, Trinidad and Tobago's former Prime Minister, Mrs Kamla Persad Bissessar is one of the many examples of this development.
Afro-Trinbagonian women have also made much development compared to their West African ancestors. Though most are statistically proven to still practice, female single parent families or matrifocality, they have empowered themselves to become major role models in society today. Wendy Fitz- Williams, former miss universe and single mother is an exceptional illustration of this development.
Caribbean being such a diverse society, in every aspect, manifested mixed races whom are also breaking the glass ceiling.    
However, though some women have broken the glass ceiling, many are still trapped and in need of empowerment. Feminist movements and celebrations such as International Women's Day and Mother's day are major contributors for women to one day no longer be oppressed, restrained or discriminated against. The future holds women empowerment, for equal rights and justice, and when that goal is accomplished we can all review women's toil to CEO.
 

 

The importance of family alliances were reflected in daily village life, that is, they shared food, property, land,canoes and tools. 
The women and girls of the villages had allocated duties, which comprised of ;
planting of crops 
Preparing and cooking food, which was first consumed by the men in the village then the women and young children were allowed to eat.
The women were also skilled in weaving and spinning, making artifacts such as hammocks and baskets as seen in Figure 2
