Hi Lisa, The article below discusses the researcher’s experiences and observations while conducting studies with sex workers in the Caribbean. The article itself may have some of the information you are looking for but it may also be helpful to contact the author (or other authors cited in the article) to connect you to more research in this area. Kempadoo, K. (2001). Freelancers, temporary wives, and beach-boys: Researching sex work in the Caribbean. Feminist Review, 67(1), 39-62. Happy researching!

I know the area called "the West Indies" is quite diverse, and "the Caribbean" even more diverse. Nevertheless, since I have come up with virtually nothing on cultural norms, and particularly gender norms, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, I'd like to broaden my search a bit. If folks are aware of great readings/studies/information on any of the above, kindly send me links or articles or citations. I am especially interested in information on gender norms/gendered violence, etc. Feel free to communicate directly with me if you prefer. My university email is: LFontes@umass.edu Many thanks.
