Abstract

The present document, prepared by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), is based on 25 reports prepared by countries and territories in Latin America and the Caribbean, which in turn are based on comprehensive national 30-year reviews of the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action (Beijing+30), adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women, in synergy with the implementation of the Regional Gender Agenda deriving from the commitments made at the meetings of the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean. The document incorporates the official statistics compiled in the Gender Equality Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean.
