Gender

La igualdad de género implica la garantía de igualdad de derechos entre mujeres y hombres tanto en normas y leyes (igualdad formal), como en oportunidades y resultados (igualdad sustantiva). La igualdad de género, la autonomía de las mujeres y una sociedad del cuidado son una condición, un camino y un catalizador para el desarrollo sostenible.

Caribbean Youth Dialogues 2025 in preparation of the ECOSOC Youth Forum

However, youth in the Caribbean face many challenges that need to be addressed as precursors to creating environments that enable them to reach their maximum potential to contribute to the achievement of SDGs by 2030, thereby leaving a legacy for future youth generations.
