Situation of Women in Belize

WIN-Belize believes that the position of women in Belize is improving but there is still room for improvement, especially in the area of development planning where it is still centered on the reproductive roles and responsibilities of women. Even though women contribute to the well being of society, it is still a common practice for many planners to think of women’s contribution as occurring only through the roles they perform in domestic settings.

The network focuses on addressing violence against women, sexual and reproductive health rights, HIV and sustainable economic livelihood.

The Network will work collectively to achieve gender equality and equity through improving Sexual and Reproductive Health and Economic Livelihoods impacts from the education, advocacy and service delivery programmes of member organizations.
