👩🏽‍⚖️🇧🇸⚖️Marion Bethel is one of The Bahamas’ most respected voices in law, literature, film and advocacy. An attorney, poet, filmmaker and women’s rights activist, Bethel has spent decades using her work to promote equality and preserve important parts of Bahamian history.

Her documentary “Womanish Ways: Freedom, Human Rights & Democracy” tells the story of the women who fought for the right to vote in The Bahamas, helping ensure that their struggle and contribution are remembered by future generations.

Bethel is also an acclaimed poet and has received regional and international recognition for her work on gender equality and human rights. Through law, art and activism, Marion Bethel has helped keep the voices and achievements of Bahamian women at the centre of the national story. She remains one of the women who moved The Bahamas forward.

RELATIVES responsible for older people could be legally required to provide them with food, safe housing and healthcare — and in some cases collect them from hospital after discharge — under sweeping proposed legislation that would impose new duties on families, caregivers and professionals.

A new chapter for The Bahamas. For the first time ever, nine women will sit in Parliament.

The government has made promises to women and children. Will they keep those promises? Will the "Divine Nine" ensure they are delivered? Read our press statement below for our comments.

We will continue to do our part to assist, agitate and advocate for the promised changes.
