UN General Assembly
2022

As part of my Government’s thrust to mainstream empowerment across all sectors and policies, Saint Kitts and Nevis will continue to put women and young people at the forefront of its social development and all its pursuits, including the advancement of the digital economy. We are confident that our active inclusion of women and young people in public life through their appointment in our Parliament, diplomatic and senior civil service and other decision-making forums will bear much fruit. It is against that backdrop that we therefore pledge our support for the ongoing process of the Declaration for Future Generations, which will culminate in the Summit of the Future next year. As its leader, I pledge my country’s active commitment to meeting Sustainable Development Goal 5 and surpassing, or meeting, the goals of the Inter-American Convention on the Prevention, Punishment and Eradication of Violence Against Women in achieving gender equity now and for future generations.
