Gender Equality Observatory
The Gender Equality Policy and Action Plan is aligned with the rights of the individual in Grenada’s 1974 Constitution, and the Government’s current medium-term national development plan – the Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy 2014-2018. In addition, the GEPAP is consistent with the Government’s commitments and obligations under various international instruments including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), the International Conference on Population Development Programme of Action (ICPD PoA), the Beijing Platform for Action (BPfA), the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and the Commonwealth Plan of Action for Gender Equality (CPoA). These international instruments include goals, strategies and mechanisms for the achievement of gender equality, women’s empowerment and child protection.
