2014 - 2024 MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING GOVERNMENT OF GRENADA GOVERNMENT OF GRENADA GENDER EQUALITY POLICY AND ACTION PLAN (GEPAP) 2014 - 2024 APPROVED BY THE CABINET OF GRENADA JUNE 10, 2014 FOR IMPLEMENTATION BY GOVERNMENT MINISTRIES AND DEPARTMENTS LEAD AGENCY DIVISION OF GENDER AND FAMILY AFFAIRS MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING DEVELOPED WITH SUPPORT FROM UNITED NATIONS ENTITY FOR GENDER EQUALITY AND THE EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN (UN WOMEN) AND PARTNERSHIP FOR THE GRENADA COUNTRY GENDER ASSESSMENT WITH CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK (CDB) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The preparation of this national Gender Equality Policy and Action Plan (GEPAP) 2014–2024 has been led by the Division of Gender and Family Affairs, Ministry of Social Development and Housing (MoSDH), Government of Grenada. Thanks are expressed to the many organisations and individuals in government, civil society and the private sector who have contributed to the development of the GEPAP. Hon. Delma Thomas, Minister of Social Development and Housing (MoSDH); Mrs. Elizabeth Henry- Greenidge, Permanent Secretary and Ms. Barbara Charles, Acting Permanent Secretary, MoSDH; and Mr. Timothy Antoine, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Finance and Energy, Economic Development, Trade, Planning and Cooperatives played leadership roles in the process. Ms. Elaine Henry-McQueen, Senior Programme Officer, Division of Gender and Family Affairs (DGFA), MoSDH performed leadership and technical functions in developing GEPAP. Staff members of the DGFA played a critical role in the process of developing GEPAP, among whom Ms. Jicinta Alexis who was the local counterpart to the Consultant, Ms. Alice Victor, Mr. Maurice Cox and Mr Kwesi Davidson deserve special mention. Government senior officials and technical staff, both individually and collectively, contributed statistical data and critical feedback at various stages of the process. Members of the Inter- ministerial Technical Committee gathered statistical data from various Ministries, Departments and Statutory Bodies across the public sector. The Working Group assisted with the organisation of the national, sector and area consultations held in preparation of the GEPAP. A 1-day review meeting of the Technical Committee and Working Group provided critical feedback, and put forward policy objectives and actions. Reviews of the first draft were undertaken by the Senior Managers’ Board, MoSDH Management Team, and Technical Committee and Working Group (see Appendix 1 for a list of Ministries, Departments and Statutory Bodies involved). Many of the members of the Technical Committee and Working Group received training in Gender-Aware Policy Formulation: Empowering Change held in August 2012, with funding and technical support from Friederich Ebert Stiftung, Jamaica Office. Men, women and young persons from Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique made a significant substantive contribution to the GEPAP. They represented a wide cross-section of civil society organisations (CSOs), non-governmental organisations (NGOs), community-based organisations (CBOs), private sector agencies and labour unions, and faith-based organisations (FBOs), who participated in the national, sector and area consultations, focus group meetings and individual interviews (see Appendix 1 for a list of organisations). The development of the GEPAP would not have been possible without the support of UN Women and partnership with Caribbean Development Bank (CDB). UN Women, facilitated by Ms. Gabrielle Henderson, provided core financial and technical support. CDB agreed to the use of data gathered for the preparation of the Grenada Country Gender Assessment (CGA) through focus group meetings and individual interviews, and supported the national consultation held in St. George’s in November 2013. CDB staff members who facilitated the collaboration and provided substantial inputs were Dr. Carolina Ferracini, Ms. Denise Noel-DeBique and Mr. Elbert Ellis. Finally, Dr. Rawwida Baksh, International Gender and Development Consultant, facilitated the research and consultative process and preparation of the GEPAP; Dr. Hyacinth Skervin provided research assistance with the focus group meetings and individual interviews supported by CDB; and Ms. Asha Claxton provided administrative assistance.

    Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony As Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies

    1 Introduction of Professor Eudine Barriteau for Induction Ceremony as Principal of the Cave Hill Campus, University of the West Indies Patricia Mohammed, Professor of Gender and Cultural Studies Campus Coordinator, School for Graduate Studies and Research, UWI, St Augustine 12th December, 2015 “Reading creates parallel worlds, says Eudine Barriteau “It stimulates the mind”. “From young I began to experience the interiority of the mind, how it could operate in direct contradistinction to perceived reality, so from about 13 I would observe situations where my mind was beyond it. But an external reading by others would dwell on what they saw, a teenager, growing up working class with a single mother, producing easy classifications that did not fit that interiority. In my mind I had analyzed it and thought how wrong they were”. She spent the first eleven years of her life in Grenada and moved to Barbados in 1965, the year before this society would become independent. On November 30, 2013, she was awarded the Gold Crown of Merit by the Government of Barbados, in celebration of its 47th Anniversary of Independence. Today we acknowledge another boundary crossing in the life of a remarkable Caribbean woman. Violet Eudine Barriteau is a Professor of Gender and Public Policy, two interrelated and complex areas of thought that define her expertise in the academy. The dualism in this professorial title represents her academic contribution to new knowledge, and the impact of her work in the public sphere. She has contributed significantly in this region to bringing gender out of its domestic confinement, breaking this glass ceiling of gender, not with explosives, but through evidence, with hard edged argued rationality.

    Inaugural Dame Nita Barrow Lecture Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society Toronto, December 1997 Violet Eudine Barriteau Director, Centre for Gender and Development Studies University of The West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados Dean Michael Fullan, Chair, Barbados' High Commissioner to Ottawa, Her Excellency June Clarke, Mr Errol Humphries, Mr Louis Tull, Dr Hall, Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, sisters and brothers from the Caribbean, good evening. I am very honoured and humbled to deliver the inaugural lecture of the Dame Nita Barrow Women In Development and Community Transformation Visitorship. On behalf of the University of The West Indies and the Centre for Gender and Development Studies I take this opportunity to congratulate OISE and the University of Toronto for establishing this Visitorship to honour the memory of Dame Nita. I hope our policy makers have noted your initiative and are in fact working on a significant and relevant means of honouring the regional and international public service of this remarkable, outstanding woman. I anticipate and look forward to this. Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Let me say by Caribbean I refer to the countries of the Anglophone, Commonwealth Caribbean which share a similar historical, cultural, political and economic legacy even though there are varying expressions of that legacy within this grouping. With the topic of my lecture, "Are Caribbean Women Taking Over? Contradictions for Women in Caribbean Society” I draw your attention to the changing nature of gender relations in the Caribbean and what these changes mean for women. Sharp, polarized divisions now exist in the ways in which Caribbean people interpret these evolving relations.
