A group of people standing on a stage Description automatically generated The Commonwealth Women\u2019s Affairs Ministers Meeting opened yesterday in The Bahamas with a call for stronger action on gender equality priorities in the face of intensifying global environmental and economic challenges.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Against the backdrop of a recent United Nations report projecting that achieving gender equality, at the current pace, may take 300 years, the meeting offers women\u2019s affairs ministers a critical platform to take stock of the current status of gender equality and work together on strategies to accelerate progress on shared priorities.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The meeting was opened by the Commonwealth Secretary-General, the Rt Hon Patricia Scotland KC, and the Prime Minister of The Bahamas, the Hon Philip Davis KC, on 21 August 2023. It was attended by more than 80 ministers and senior officials from across the Commonwealth\u2019s six regions. \u201cIt\u2019s time to demolish the walls of the old boys club,\u201d said Prime Minister Philip Davis in his keynote address.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cOnly when opportunities are opened up more widely, will we truly be making the most of the talent and ingenuity of all of humanity.\u201d He described the Commonwealth women\u2019s affairs ministers meeting as \u201can ideal platform\u201d, adding that: \u201cThe discussions and resolutions that emerge will pave the path for the agenda for the upcoming Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa.<\/p>\n

Your work can be the catalyst for much-needed momentum toward a better, more just world for everyone.\u201d In her opening remarks, Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland \u2013 the first woman to hold the post \u2013 told officials that she has mainstreamed gender across all areas of her organisation\u2019s work to help member countries achieve their development goals more equitably.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She added: \u201cAs we meet today, our world faces serious challenges: the long shadow of COVID-19; crippling debt, rising inflation and high interest rates \u2026 and the increasingly harsh impacts of climate change.<\/p>\n

In each of them, the impact on women and girls is disproportionate. But together, we are more than equal to the challenges we face.\u201d \u201cThis is our time,\u201d said the Secretary-General. \u201cLet us resolve that the chapter we will write together here in The Bahamas will lead us to a safer, more sustainable, more equal and more prosperous future for all.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She continued: \u201cIf, in The Bahamas, we, the Commonwealth, came together and were able to free Nelson Mandela. Isn\u2019t it time now we free the women of the world? As Nelson Mandela once said: \u2018It always seems impossible until it\u2019s done\u2019.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

So, let\u2019s do it.\u201d Secretary-General Scotland stressed that accelerated action on gender equality is at the heart of the success of the Commonwealth in the face of the ongoing challenges and pledged her continued support to the ministers.<\/p>\n

The decisions from the three-day meeting will feed into an action plan, designed to end gender inequality in several Commonwealth priority areas. These priority areas range from women\u2019s inclusion in climate solutions, ending gender-based violence to increased support for women with disabilities and better representation in leadership.<\/p>\n

The outcomes from the meeting will be considered by leaders at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa. Hosted by the Government of The Bahamas, the meeting is being chaired by the country\u2019s Minister of Social Services and Urban Development, the Hon Obediah Wilchcombe.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThis is our time. Our people expect \u2013 and will want from us \u2013 exceptional leadership. Leadership that can make change happen\u2026 We have done it here in The Bahamas before.<\/p>\n

It was 1985 when the Commonwealth met in The Bahamas and made great strides and a big step toward the release of Nelson Mandela.\u201d Minister Wilchcombe continued: \u201cAnd six years later, he walked a free man, free of the chains and the shackles.<\/p>\n

It is now our time to unchain and remove the shackles from the women.<\/p>\n

We have the opportunity [and] the strengths of the Commonwealth to collectively make this change happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the 13th triennial meeting of Commonwealth women\u2019s affairs ministers, which is being held in the capital city of Nassau, from 21 to 23 August 2023.<\/p>\n
