Red Thread
Red Thread is a women’s organisation based in Guyana aimed to offer greater opportunities for grassroots women. Founded in 1986 by a group of middle class Caribbean women, the organisation worked to transform their lives by helping to improve economic security, tackle violence against women and children, and strengthen their participation in politics during a time when Guyana was racially divided and economically poor.
