This book dives deep into how energy poverty, limited access to reliable and affordable electricity, affects women living in Jamaica’s low-income communities. It’s not just about lights and appliances; it’s about how energy insecurity shapes everyday life, from cooking and childcare to earning a living and staying healthy. The research reveals that women bear the brunt of this issue due to social inequalities, poor infrastructure, and entrenched gender roles. Through personal stories, policy analysis, and community insights, the book shows how energy poverty traps women in cycles of hardship. But it also offers hope: by putting women at the center of energy planning and policy, Jamaica can build a more inclusive and sustainable future. This work is a powerful call to rethink development strategies in small island states and ensure that women’s voices lead the way in the energy transition.
