The Journey Towards Sustainable Development and Gender Equality

ParlAmericas Podcast

This episode was recorded during the two-day multi-stakeholder dialogue on gender equality and sustainable development, jointly organized by ParlAmericas, the UN Women Multi-Country Office – Caribbean and the Parliament of Saint Lucia, in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia.

Listen to this presentation by Dr. Rosina Wiltshire, gender and development specialist, on key themes and interlinkages of gender equality and sustainable development, reinforcing that these goals can only be achieved in partnership and through the application of a holistic, human-centred framework where human beings are placed at the centre of national analysis, policy framework, and programs.

Dr. Wiltshire also explores opportunities for transforming Caribbean societies, and the world by extension, using the models and foundations of gender equality, peace, and resilience, and presents ways in which these themes can be effectively reflected in intergovernmental processes like the International Conference on Small Island Developing States and within national processes and decision making.
