Gender Norms Etiquette in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Gender roles are fairly traditional in many families, so men are often expected to take a public, protective role while women may be more involved in household and caregiving responsibilities, though this varies a lot by age, class, and urban versus rural life. In everyday interactions, be polite and avoid making assumptions about who should lead, pay, or speak for the group, because younger Vincentians and people in tourism and professional settings are generally more flexible and egalitarian.
