Regional Gender Equality Profile for Latin America and the Caribbean

The Regional Gender Equality Profile for Latin America and the Caribbean is the result of close collaboration among the fifteen Agencies, Funds, and Programs (AFPs) that make up the Regional Gender Equality and Equity Group (GIG Regional).

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

Its main objective is to examine gender inequalities in the region, taking into account the five dimensions of the 2030 Agenda: people, prosperity, planet, collective participation, and peace, also known as the "5 Ps". This analysis is conducted from an intersectional perspective, delving into the interaction of gender inequality with other factors of discrimination. Thus, it provides a detailed view of the dynamics, challenges, and progress that characterize the gender landscape in Latin America and the Caribbean.
