Composed of the 35 national legislatures in North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, ParlAmericas promotes cooperative political dialogue, facilitates the exchange of good legislative practices, and produces tailored resources to support parliamentarians in their work. The ParlAmericas Podcast is compiled from sessions recorded from different ParlAmericas activities delivered on-location across the hemisphere.
This episode was recorded during the virtual meeting,Tying the Threads Together: Parliamentary Actions to Advance International Agreements on the SIDS and Gender Equality, organized by ParlAmericas, UN Women Multi-Country Office – Caribbean and Caribbean Women in Leadership (CIWiL).
Listen to this conversation between The Honourable Alincia Williams Grant, President of the Senate of Antigua and Barbuda, and Ms. Tonni Brodber, Representative of the UN Women – Caribbean, on the core tenets of key international frameworks – namely the SIDS agenda, the Bridgetown Initiative 3.0 and the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. They also consider concrete actions parliamentarians can take to contribute to their achievement.
Their dialogue further explores strategies for effectively communicating with citizens about the importance of international frameworks and for collaborating with civil society and through multi-party caucuses to advance the gender equality and sustainable development goals laid out in these agreements.
