Although the Caribbean can boast that during its short history as independent states, women have managed to break the glass ceiling and rise to the highest levels, including in the Prime Minister's office, despite the laws. that protect women's rights, inequalities between men and women remain widespread and deeply rooted in many cultural practices and traditions. Like other women in developing countries, Caribbean women face difficult choices every day, choices where cultural tradition often conflicts with their human rights. Women who have chosen to have children have been made to live with the oft-repeated phrase that the world's problems are caused by poor women having too many children. Of course, this is just a distraction from the real social causes of poverty and injustice. For example, blaming third world women for a problem like global warming not only undermines women's rights, but also the fight against climate change. Paul Ehrlich believes that “…too many automobiles, too much industry, too many chemicals, endless contrails. Poor treatment at sewage treatment plants, persistent air and water pollution, leading to water shortages, can all be linked to overpopulation.[1] Betsy Hartmann points out that populationist arguments are resurfacing and new groups have added a “false feminist twist” to women in developing countries on their reproductive rights. “The bad news that women's fertility is destroying the environment follows the so-called 'good' news that proper family planning is the solution. In other words, groups will not feel guilty about blaming women in developing countries for the global problem, because they can help improve their conditions by having fewer children.” [2] She f...... middle of paper ...... 'demographic policies'. She further asserts that viewing women's issues within the neo-Malthusian framework will only lead to abandonment of the social roots of women's subordination. [7]Mixing women's rights and population reduction in developing countries requires mixing oil and water. This combination will only make things worse: the fight for women's human rights is a means to achieve practical goals, not to demand justice for its own sake. By adapting the populationist concept, it is obvious that so-called “popular justice” is heading down a dangerous path. Adding a voice, especially a liberal, to misogynists to blame women in developing countries for the current global warming crisis will further undermine women's rights and the global fight against climate change..
