On the occasion of International Women’s Day, which is being observed under the theme “Gender Equality today for a Sustainable tomorrow”, the European Union/United Nations Spotlight Initiative (SI) in Guyana wishes to recognise the efforts of all women and girls who are contributing their innovative ideas and efforts toward creating a sustainable future.
Even as this recognition is given, much work is still required to achieve true gender equality, particularly with regard to Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Women and girls remain one of the most vulnerable groups globally. In Guyana, the Spotlight Initiative (SI) to eliminate violence against Women and Girls continues to support the national response to address GBV issues in Guyana.
