The last few years have seen an influx of immigrants into Trinidad and Tobago and the rest of the Caribbean from neighbouring Venezuela which has seen an exodus of about 7 million people since 2015. Many of the migrants have been welcomed and assimilated into their adopted land, and efforts have been taken to ensure they can make a valuable contribution to the country. One such initiative is Spöol, a new programme that has been established to provide world-class training in sewing, garment, and carnival costume production free of charge to local and migrant women who are at increased risk of gender-based violence and or who are experiencing economic vulnerabilities.
