Gender gaps emerge earlier than we might think, and talent is not the reason.

The research suggests that there are barriers that discourage girls from staying in the game.

The good news on this ? When more girls participate, girls perform better and the gap narrows. โ™Ÿ๏ธโœจโ™Ÿ๏ธโœจ

๐Ÿšจ R**e culture doesnโ€™t begin and end with an act of sexual violence.

It lives in the:

๐Ÿ”ด attitudes that excuse it
๐Ÿ”ด stereotypes that blame survivors
๐Ÿ”ด silence that continues to protect perpetrators

There is for abuse โ€” or for the culture that lets r**e persist.

Will you stand against r**e culture?

03/10/2026

Belief is not something survivors should have to earn.

Women and girls should not have to tell the perfect story to be taken seriously or carry the burden of exposing violence, demanding justice and changing the systems that failed them.

Survivors deserve to be heard. Survivors deserve support. Survivors deserve justice.

Break the silence. Believe survivors. Bring perpetrators to justice.

There's not to.

The meeting provided an opportunity to strengthen our partnership and share insights on UN Womenโ€™s work across the region, with particular focus on the Project. Funded in part by Canadaโ€™s International Development โ€“ Global Affairs Canada and implemented jointly with UNFPA, is driving gender-transformative change in Grenada, Dominica, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

By advancing women's resilience to climate and economic shocks, aims not only to deliver sustainable results within these countries, but also to generate evidence, build partnerships, and scalable solutions that can inspire innovation and accelerate change for a more equitable future across the wider Caribbean.

Together, UN Women and Global Affairs Canada are investing in a more equal, resilient, and sustainable future for all.

Caribbean women set a new regional record on the global stage at .

Women delivered 6 of the 14 General Debate addresses from CARICOM: Caribbean Community Member States, up from four last year.

The milestone is also significant within the global picture: 25 women addressed the General Debate this year, with CARICOM speakers accounting for six, or nearly one quarter, of that total.

This record reflects the ambition of Sustainable Development Goal 5 Gender Equality, particularly Target 5.5, which calls for womenโ€™s full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making.

Representation at the podium matters. Greater visibility for Caribbean women leaders broadens the perspectives informing international dialogue and strengthens the regionโ€™s voice in global decision-making.

๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ We want equal power !
Right now:
๐Ÿ”ต 6 out of 7 countries in the world are led by men
๐Ÿ”ต 1 in 3 institutions built to advance gender equality has been stripped of power in just two years
๐Ÿ”ต Not a single indicator on the Sustainable Development Goal for gender equality (SDG 5) is on track to be met by 2030
These are not isolated setbacks. They are signs of a broader political retreat from .
If power remains concentrated in institutions that systematically exclude women, the world will continue to fall short of its full potential.
As leaders gather at the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly, our message is clear:
Women need equal access to power โ€” and an equal say in the decisions that shape our future.

171 years.

Thatโ€™s how long gender equality will take at the current pace. Not one SDG 5 indicator is on track.

Progress requires stronger legal reform, investment, leadership and better data.

Women and girls cannot wait.
