Description
This episode was recorded during the two-day multi-stakeholder dialogue on gender equality and sustainable development, jointly organized by ParlAmericas, UN Women Multi-Country Office in the Caribbean and the Parliament of Saint Lucia, in Gros Islet, Saint Lucia. In this presentation, Dr. Rosina Wiltshire, gender and development specialist, shares on key themes and interlinkages of gender equality and sustainable development, reinforcing the message 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 explores the opportunities for transforming Caribbean societies, and the world by extension, using the models and foundations of gender equality, peace, and resilience. She neatly explains key gender concepts and their relationship to transformational leadership. Dr. Wiltshire also 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.
