[3] Furthering her education, Reddock moved to the Netherlands and earned a master's degree from the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague in 1980.

[3] She has studied Indo-Caribbean populations and the manner in which colonialism, traditional class structures and the struggle for economic survival effected men and women differently.

[7] Her work on the history of activism in the Caribbean has shed light on how women initiated the move toward democratization from both political and labour perspectives, linking feminist goals and nationalist movements.

[3] Reddock led research on a national initiative on child abuse[2] which has been expanded into a region-wide programme and is supported by UNICEF.

[3] She spent two years working on a National Gender Policy with Camille Antoine and Patricia Mohammed, that was not adopted, but which Reddock still hopes will gain traction.
