Women’s presence in governance processes and leadership spaces around the Caribbean remains inadequate .

The Inter-Parliamentary Union' s (IPU), April 1st 2022 data reveals the percentage of women elected as Members of Parliament in: Trinidad and Tobago (26.2%); Antigua and Barbuda (11.1%); Barbados (26.7%); Belize (12.5%); Bahamas (18%); Saint Kitts and Nevis (25%); and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (18.2%).

All are below the 30% threshold recommended in the 1996 UN Beijing Platform for Action.

T&T ranked 37 out of 156 countries in terms of gender parity according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report of 2021.
