St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a small, impoverished country located in the Caribbean Sea. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, with an annual GDP per capita of just $2,500. The population of St. Vincent and the Grenadines is only around 11,000 people, and most of them live on a tiny island called Kingstown. The island has been used as a slave market for centuries, and it is still home to some of the worst human rights abuses in the Caribbean. In recent years, however, things have started to change.
