SUMMARY:Breaking waves: Igniting gender inclusivity for development across the Americas
DESCRIPTION:The Atlantic Council| In-Person & Virtual Event \nDescription: International Women’s Day is an opportunity to celebrate the progress made toward gender equality and a yearly call for action to address the challenges women still face around the world. Latin America and the Caribbean countries made important strides improving the political representation of women\, and currently women make up a record-high presence in national parliaments. However\, women in LAC face one of the highest rates of violence in the world\, with one femicide reported every two hours. They earn seventeen percent less than men per hour worked and are more vulnerable to fall under the poverty line. Solutions exist\, and with six elections occurring in 2024 in the region\, the year offers a unique opportunity to include gender disparities in the political agenda. What policies should be implemented to curb gender-based violence? How can businesses and governments work to enhance women’s economic footing? How can a historic electoral year be used to leverage gender empowerment across the Americas? Join the Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center and UN Women on Friday\, March 8th from 10:00am to 12:00pm (ET) as we celebrate this year’s IWD theme\, “Inspire Inclusion\,” with an in-person\, solutions-oriented conversation about how to link gender inclusivity with broader economic and political goals. The discussion will feature female leaders and public servants from across the Americas. During this event\, hosted in partnership with UN Women Multi-Country-Office Caribbean\, the Atlantic Council will launch a report\, “Not without her: A roadmap for gender equality and Caribbean prosperity” which provides clear steps for Caribbean policymakers to address gender challenges in the region. \nThe registration link can be found below.
