ParlAmericas Podcast

In this episode, the Honourable Chester Humphrey, President of the Senate of Grenada and Vice-President for the Caribbean of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network for Gender Equality, discusses gender norms and violence against women in the context of historical conditions of slavery and exploitation in the Caribbean. He also shares past and ongoing legislative and policy measures to prevent and respond to gender-based violence in Grenada, including establishing a specialized division within law enforcement and hotlines, and identifies the education sector as a key entry point for future interventions.

This interview was recorded as part of a collaboration between ParlAmericas and UN Women, Caribbean Women in Leadership (CIWiL), and the National Forum of Women in Political Parties of Panama (FONAMUPP, in Spanish), in support of the 16 days of activism against gender-based violence global campaign (November 25 – December 10).
