The event was hosted by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), in collaboration with the Government of Barbados and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).

The event convened Attorneys General, Commissioners of Police, Heads of Gender Bureaus and other senior technical officers from eighteen (18) Caribbean Community (CARICOM) members and associate member states to examine existing legislative tools and policy responses to domestic violence, with a focus on coordinated action to address the most salient legislative gaps.

In the letter of invitation to the Hon. Attorney General, IDB Country Representative Lorena Solórzano-Salazar hailed Guyana’s efforts at combating domestic violence as follows: “Guyana has demonstrated true thought leadership for the region in the areas of domestic and sexual violence legislation and policy. It would therefore be an honour to have your presence at this Symposium to participate in a panel of your peers on Reflections – Legislative Gaps and Opportunities.”
