Ann-Marie Williams, Deputy Programme Manager, Human and Social Development – Gender Development

The CARICOM Secretariat has produced a compendium of information that will help organisations tackle violence against women and girls and a training workshop is set for Georgetown today on its effective use.

In a statement yesterday, the  Secretariat said it has produced its first Compendium of Model Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice (KAP) Tool for the Region on Social Gender Norms and Violence against Women and Girls.  The Secretariat’s Gender and Development Programme constructed the Tool in May 2023 in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) under the Regional Spotlight Initiative Caribbean Programme.
