Caribbean Gender Based Violence Laws

This electronic database outlines the substantive and procedural laws governing gender-based violence. It is designed to increase access to reliable information on the legal frameworks for addressing gender based violence.

About The Database

This initiative emerged as a recommendation from a meeting hosted by UN WOMEN with regional Commissioners of Police and Gender Bureaus under the project “Strengthening State Accountability and Community Action for Ending Gender-Based Violence in the Caribbean.” This project focuses on strategies of increasing state actor competencies, strengthening accountability and the promotion of social and cultural change through youth-led, gender responsive social communications.
