“There can be no economic and social development without the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. The Bahamas is committed to this achievement and has actively participated in various meetings on gender equality and the advancement of women, regionally and here at the UN, and was represented at the recent Global Leaders Meetings on Gender Equality and Womens empowerment by our minister for Gender Affairs, the Hon. Melanie Griffin, on 27th September."
