My country pledges its commitment to continue to work with the United Nations in advancing and empowering women at the global level. Consequently, Trinidad and Tobago has submitted its candidature for the Executive Board of UN-Women for the period 2017-2019, during elections to take place within the Economic and Social Council in 2016.

  3. “Equal opportunities exist for women's participation at the decision-making level in matters regarding peace and security. It is underscored by the ascendancy of women to the senior ranks of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service and the three contingents of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force. At the regional level, we have worked with the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs on initiatives to strengthen the participatory role played by Latin American and Caribbean women in combating illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons.”

  4. “General Assembly resolution 69/61 seeks to highlight women not merely as victims of violence, but as empowered and indispensable actors in decision-making efforts to address the issue of disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control. Trinidad and Tobago is pleased that the language contained in that resolution is reflective of the Arms Trade Treaty and its provisions on gender-based violence or violence against women and girls. At the national level, the equal rights of women and men are guaranteed under the Constitution of my country. The national policy on gender and development is the overarching framework that guides the Government of Trinidad and Tobago in promoting the full and equal participation of women and men in the national development process.”

  5. “For us, the empowerment of women is an integral part of national development, as well as an essential pillar in the maintenance of sustainable peace. Trinidad and Tobago is committed to the implementation of resolution 1325 (2000). In 2010, my country introduced, and since then has been the main sponsor of the first General Assembly resolution on women's participation at the decision-making level in matters related to disarmament, non-proliferation and arms control. Since its introduction, the resolution has received the support of a majority of Member States. It was formulated in the context of the tenth anniversary of the adoption of resolution 1325 (2000).”

  6. “Trinidad and Tobago is pleased to contribute to this open debate on the historic 15-year review of resolution 1325 (2000) on the women and peace and security agenda. It is symbolic that this 15-year commemoration is taking place only three days after the global observance of the International Day of the Girl Child. It is also noteworthy that a few weeks ago the international community adopted the most comprehensive universal agenda for sustainable development. We, the States Members of the Organization, bear the responsibility for implementing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 5, which mirrors the subject of this debate - gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls. Trinidad and Tobago is fully committed to the goal of gender equality.”
