“Too many women continue to face gross violations of their human rights; too many are victims of trafficking, violence and discrimination; of unequal treatment before the law; of subjugation and domination.”
“I applaud UN Women's active efforts to realise women's human rights. Jamaica is proud of its longstanding social legislation and its record of championing the rights of women, even as we recognise that more remains to be done, in keeping with the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action.”
