U.S. Department of State Belize Country Report on Human Rights Practices for 1996 Released by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor, January 30, 1997. BELIZE Belize is a parliamentary democracy with a constitution enacted in 1981 upon independence from the United Kingdom. The Prime Minister, a cabinet of ministers, and a legislative assembly govern the country. The Governor General represents Queen Elizabeth II in the largely ceremonial role of head of state. Both local and national elections are scheduled on a constitutionally prescribed basis. The Constitution provides for an independent judiciary. The Police Department has primary responsibility for law enforcement and maintenance of order. The Belize Defense Force (BDF) is responsible for external security, but when deemed appropriate by civilian authorities may be tasked to assist the police department. Both the police and the BDF report to the Minister of National Security and are responsible to and controlled by civilian authorities. There were occasional reports of abuse by the police. The economy is primarily agricultural, although tourism has become the principal source of foreign exchange earnings. The agricultural sector is heavily dependent on preferential access to export markets for sugar and for bananas.

    Garifuna Women and the Politics of Cultural Heritage: The Legacy of the Belizean Women’s Movement Undergraduate Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors Research Distinction in Geography in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Rachel Brunot The Ohio State University May 2021 Project Advisor: Dr. Joel Wainwright, Department of Geography Table of Contents I. Introduction 3 II. Literature Review 6 III. Subproject 1: Documenting the Work of Ms. Cynthia Ellis 15 IV. Subproject 2: Museum Creation at the Sandy Beach Women’s Cooperative 31 V. Conclusion 44 VI. Bibliography 48 2 I. Introduction The tension between globalization and the preservation of local cultures is one faced by numerous indigenous peoples, rural workers, and other marginalized groups around the world. Throughout their history, the Garifuna, a black indigenous group in Central America, have dealt with this tension by leveraging their differences in order to adapt to displacement. Garifuna women, in particular, have played a critical role in the perseverance of their culture by carving out their own space, no matter what obstacles, new or old, seek to restrain them. In this study, I explore the work of Garifuna women in the history of Belize and today through the question: How have Garifuna women in Belize negotiated and transformed cultural politics in relation to race, gender, and class as organizers of and participants in Belize’s women’s movement? I attempt to answer this question using two subprojects that focus on the work of Garifuna women during Belize’s women’s movement in the 1980s and 1990s as well as today.

  • Domestic Violence and the Implications For
    ABSTRACT WITHIN AND BEYOND THE SCHOOL WALLS: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOLING by Elizabeth Joan Cardenas Domestic violence complemented by gendered inequalities impact both women and children. Research shows that although domestic violence is a global, prevalent social phenomenon which transcends class, race, and educational levels, this social monster and its impact have been relatively ignored in the realm of schooling. In this study, I problematize the issue of domestic violence by interrogating: How do the family and folk culture educate/miseducate children and adults about their gendered roles and responsibilities? How do schools reinforce the education/miseducation of these gendered roles and responsibilities? What can we learn about the effects of this education/ miseducation? What can schools do differently to bridge the gap between children and families who are exposed to domestic violence? This study introduces CAREPraxis as a possible framework for schools to implement an emancipatory reform. CAREPraxis calls for a re/definition of school leadership, home-school relationship, community involvement, and curriculum in order to improve the deficiency of relationality and criticality skills identified from the data sources on the issue of domestic violence. This study is etiological as well as political and is grounded in critical theory, particularly postcolonial theory and black women’s discourses, to explore the themes of representation, power, resistance, agency and identity. I interviewed six women, between ages 20 and 50, who were living or have lived in abusive relationships for two or more years. The two major questions asked were: What was it like when you were growing up? What have been your experiences with your intimate male partner with whom you live/lived.
