Regional Gender Equality Profile for Latin America and the Caribbean

The Regional Gender Profile for Latin America and the Caribbean is the result of the close coordination among 15 UN agencies, funds, and programmes that make up the Regional Gender Interagency Group (GIG).

Led by UN Women, this Profile has been jointly produced by: Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Labour Organization (ILO), United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), World Food Programme (WFP), United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

Its main objective is to examine gender inequalities in the region across the five dimensions of the 2030 Agenda: people, prosperity, planet, peace and partnerships, also known as the “5 Ps”. This analysis is carried out from an intersectional perspective, exploring how gender inequality intersects with other forms of discrimination. In this way, it provides a detailed overview of the dynamics, challenges, and progress that characterize the gender equality landscape in Latin America and the Caribbean.
