This statistic sheds light on the deep-rooted connection between women and the festival, highlighting their pivotal role in maintaining and evolving the vibrant traditions of Caribbean culture. As the heart of the celebration, women infuse the festivities with energy, passion, and a sense of community that is integral to the carnival experience.
