Our Work

All human development and human rights issues have gender dimensions. UN Women focuses on priority areas that are fundamental to women’s equality, and that can unlock progress across the board. In the Caribbean sub-region, UN Women focuses on the following priorities.

Image
Leadership-and-Political-Participation
Leadership and Political Participation
One of the pillars of the work of UN Women is women's political participation, a fundamental prerequisite for gender equality and genuine democracy.
Image
Ending Violence against Women
Gender-based violence, and in particular violence against women and girls (VAWG) is one of the most common forms of insecurity facing citizens in the Caribbean.
Image
Economic Empowerment
Economic Empowerment
UN Women Multi-Country Office - Caribbean continues to strengthen Women's Economic Capacity to face the challenges and take advantage of opportunities in the context of globalisation, new trade agendas and the emergence of new technologies.
Image
Intergovernmental support
In intergovernmental forums at the United Nations, Member States come together to debate and seek agreement on global gender equality norms and standards.
Planning and Budgeting
National plans, policies, institutions and budgets are where governments begin to translate commitments to women into practical progress towards gender equality.
Image
UN system coordination
When different parts of the multilateral system act together, they can deliver greater results—and maximize the use of scarce resources. Within the UN system, UN Women is mandated to lead, promote and coordinate efforts to advance the full realization of women’s rights and opportunities.
