Grenadian Lawyer Represents Caribbean Women At UN

Anande Trotman- Joseph, Grenadian lawyer, social justice and empowerment advocate, is representing the Caribbean civil society women’s organisations at the United Nations Headquarters in New York, during Small Island Developing States (SIDS) final global Preparatory Committee Meeting, on 23-27 June.

Representatives of UN Member States are addressing the sustainable development issues of SIDS, and will define the priorities of UN Member States for the post MDGs 2015 Development and SIDS Agenda.

Trotman-Joseph joins regional civil society representatives from Caribbean Policy Development Centre, Windward Island Farmer’s Association, Caribbean Farmers Network, Caribbean youth; and international NGOs representatives from the Pacific region.  She is expected to advocate specific gender equality positions of the Caribbean civil society network, agreed through CPDC and UN WOMEN regional processes.

Caribbean representatives are expected to ensure that their re-energised voices and concerns of Caribbean civil society resonate globally around holistic sustainable development approaches to inform the post 2015 development goals, in preparation for the UN Conference on Small Island Development States to be held in Samoa, in September 2014. Issues to be addressed include climate change, food security, disaster, technical assistance, social justice, the mainstreaming of gender equality, and determining the vulnerability indices of vulnerable groups.

This UN Meeting has been described as a “critical milestone which will lay the groundwork for a once in a decade opportunity, to reinvigorate the attention of member states around the issues of Small Island Development States.”

The State of Grenada is represented by Ambassador to the UN, Dr Dennis Antoine.
