En 2023, al menos 11 mujeres fueron asesinadas cada día por razones de género en América Latina y el Caribe. Esta cifra muestra que, a 30 años de la Declaración de Acción y Plataforma de Beijing y de la Convención Belém do Pará y los avances normativos desarrollados por los países, el feminicidio sigue presente en la región y es la expresión extrema de los patrones patriarcales y violentos. El documento recoge los últimos datos informados por organismos oficiales al Observatorio de Igualdad de Género de América Latina y el Caribe (OIG) y realiza un llamado a la acción para que que los estados redoblen con sentido de urgencia los esfuerzos para cumplir con su deber de debida diligencia en materia de prevención de la violencia por razón de género y actúen con una perspectiva integral sobre las causas y consecuencias vinculadas a la persistencia de la violencia por razón de género.

The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean face structural challenges related to the region’s pattern of productive and trade specialization; and these are compounded by persistent gender inequalities, both in labour markets and in the social organization of care. Poorly diversified production and vulnerability to external shocks make it more difficult to achieve gender equality. These factors detract from labour market dynamism, restrict the exploitation of capacities and lead to an unequal distribution of the benefits of growth and the costs of economic adjustments. Moreover, violence against women, the excessive burden of unpaid work and the gender wage gap are barriers to women’s full participation in economies. These factors serve to perpetuate structural gaps; and they inhibit innovation, the creation of more diverse work environments and more complex and equal production structures (ECLAC, 2019).

In recent years, cascading crises, including the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, have highlighted the unjust social organization of care and the need for a new development model centred on care and the sustainability of life (ECLAC, 2022). These crises present an opportunity to design bold policies and to transition to a care society that prioritizes people and the planet (ECLAC, 2022). In the Buenos Aires Commitment, adopted at the fifteenth session of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean, the member States of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) agreed to transition to a care society, focusing on new areas for a transformative, gender-equal and sustainable recovery. They recognized care as a right to provide and receive care and to exercise self-care. The Regional Gender Agenda calls for the promotion of measures to overcome the sexual division of labour and move towards a fair social organization of care, in the framework of a new development model that fosters gender equality in the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. The recognition of care as a right makes it necessary to strengthen the role of States at the national and subnational levels, through care policies and systems based on the principles of equality, universality and social and gender co-responsibility, including coordinated policies on time, resources, benefits and universal and quality public services in the territory. The present document was prepared in response to the Buenos Aires Commitment, in which ECLAC was instructed to prepare a document on guiding principles for the design of policies, from a gender, intersectional and intercultural perspective and the perspective of territory, within the framework of human rights.

The infographic on "Trinidad's Traffic Study" outlines key challenges and recommendations for addressing traffic congestion in Trinidad. It offers several short- to medium-term solutions aimed at enhancing public transportation, such as making it more attractive and reliable, improving paratransit services for "first and last mile" transportation, and bolstering public safety for both commuters and service providers. Telecommuting is also suggested as a way to reduce the need for physical commuting. For a long-term solution, the study emphasizes the importance of establishing an efficient, multi-modal transportation system, improving school bus services, and decentralizing public services. Enhanced spatial planning and better traffic management for seasonal and annual events are also recommended. Additional details about the study are available via a provided link.

This infographic from Study 110 explores the role of Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) in driving sustainable development in the Caribbean. While STI is recognized as crucial for progress, the study finds that many Caribbean nations have yet to prioritize it, and existing policies remain underdeveloped. The current driver of change in the region is renewable energy, influenced by factors such as reliance on expensive imported fossil fuels, falling costs of renewable energy technologies, and international commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To foster STI advancement, the study recommends promoting an STI culture, enhancing institutional support, increasing funding, integrating STI into education, and encouraging collaboration between governments, private sectors, and research institutions.

Child, early and forced marriages and unions are defined as a union in which at least one of the parties is under the age of 18. The overwhelming majority of formal and informal child marriages and unions involve girls, although in some cases their male spouses are also under 18. As stated in the Joint general recommendation No. 31 of the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women/general comment No. 18 of the Committee on the Rights of the Child on harmful practices, and Human Rights Council resolution 29/8 of 2 July 2015, on strengthening efforts to prevent and eliminate child, early and forced marriage, child marriage is considered a form of forced marriage, as it is practiced without the full, free and informed consent of one or both parties (United Nations, 2015b). The definition used to address this violation of the human rights of children and adolescents includes marriages involving a conjugal union recognized by legal, customary or religious norms, as well as informal conjugal unions.
