- Closing remarks.
Poverty eradication and the achievement of gender equality go hand in hand and that for this to happen, it is essential to transform and strengthen systems, institutions and financing, as the priority theme of the next CSW points out. The CSW68 is an opportunity for the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean to contribute to this transformation in line with the Regional Gender Agenda.
Progress towards gender equality in Latin America and the Caribbean is at a critical juncture. The multiple crises affecting the region are having a disproportionate impact on women and girls, affecting to a greater extent those who face discrimination based on socioeconomic, ethnic, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or migratory status, among others. To offer a strategic vision that addresses gender equality and women's empowerment as a central and transversal axis of an inclusive, sustainable and transformative development, UNDP has developed the Regional Gender Equality Strategy 2023-2025.
