Folade Mutota is Executive Director and one of the three founders of the Women's Institute for Alternative Development (WINAD) based in Trinidad and Tobago. A women's rights advocate and leader with a track record of success in advancing and  protecting the rights of women and girls, and under-served communities, Mutota also coordinates the Caribbean Coalition for Development and the Reduction of Armed Violence (CDRAV), a coalition of NGOs and academics that work to reduce and prevent gun violence in the Caribbean. She led the CDRAV campaign to bolster CARICOM's role in the negotiations of the Arms Trade Treaty. An international gender and arms control expert, Folade's unique perspective is influenced by her Caribbean reality and grassroots philosophy which analyzes gender dynamics in a way that considers the specificity of place, social locations, and identity.
