UN Women, grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations, works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security.
The UN Women MCO-Caribbean covers 22 countries and territories in the English and Dutch speaking Caribbean. Strides towards gender equality in the countries covered by the MCO have resulted in gains for women and girls in the Caribbean, relating primarily to high education rates and increases in employment rates. However critical gaps and inequalities remain which are further exploited during hazards like COVID-19 and other environmental hazards. Gender equality gaps persist in all aspects of society which put women— especially the most vulnerable of women, at a greater disadvantage as compared to men in terms of their intrinsic human rights, as it pertains to factors including their ability to live in dignity, exercise decision-making, access good economic livelihood opportunities and be free from harm, along with accessing comprehensive health services (including sexual and reproductive health) and social protection systems.
Despite advances in sexual and reproductive health in the Eastern Caribbean, several challenges remain that restrict full access to quality sexual and reproductive health by women, girls, youth and other vulnerable groups. Legal, social, cultural and economic barriers increase existing issues of unmet need for family planning, high teenage pregnancy, abortions, STIs/HIV, gender-based violence, and weak logistics and supply chain management of reproductive health commodities, which have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Social protection has been proven to create economic opportunity for women and men, however often women in the Eastern Caribbean, especially the most marginalized, do not fully benefit from robust social protection systems. If governments strengthen their knowledge and abilities in providing childcare, maternity and paternity leave this will ensure that women MSME owners unpaid care responsibilities are met, allowing them more time and more security to innovate and grow their businesses.
Existing data from UN Women’s regional work in social protection and EVAW suggest that many users of social protections and public assistance schemes are survivors of domestic violence, yet many survivors still struggle, or are unaware of how to gain access to the very social protections designed to support them. Increased awareness among women, especially the most marginalised and capacities among those providing social protection services will enhance women’s access to gender responsive social protection.
