OECS Director General Dr. Didacus Jules said that given the persistence of gender inequalities worldwide, the Government of Grenada was setting a shining example in affirming women’s rights and status at the highest political levels.

“Prime Minister Mitchell and the NNP are to be strongly applauded for their commitment to women’s participation in the political decision making of Grenada and keeping faith with global accords to advance gender equality” said Dr. Jules

“The degree of gender inclusiveness in any political system is a key indicator of the quality of a nation’s democratic culture and to this end we again say to Grenada you are a light where pockets of darkness still exist for women in parts of the world, nothing should stop you from achieving your hopes aspirations and dreams.

“We also commend the Government for reaching out in a bipartisan spirit of inclusiveness and respect for political difference since the real contest lies not between political parties, but in maintaining Grenada’s competitiveness in an unsympathetic global environment” said Dr. Jules.
