SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE OAS: POVERTY IN OUR REGION “HAS A WOMAN’S FACE”
October 5, 2009
The Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) of the Organization of American States (OAS) today inaugurated the second regular session of its Executive Committee, in which, among other subjects, will be discussed the situation of women in the current economic crisis and the possibilities for collaboration with other organizations, as well as gains in the elimination of violence against women.
“In an environment in which women already have a hard time keeping their jobs or finding new employment opportunities, the unemployment caused by the crisis will probably affect more women than men in our region,” Insulza said. The proportion of poor women is growing in a region in which poverty “already has a woman’s face,” Insulza said.
“We wish the CIM to be the setting where strategies aimed at bringing attention to the needs of women will be agreed upon, at propelling actions leading to the elimination of obstacles that obstruct the equal economic participation of men and women, and also to develop in a forum to promote the strengthening of democracy and governance through mechanisms that ensure a greater participation of women at all levels in the politics in their countries,” Insulza stated.
The Secretary General also announced today the beginning of a new and closer relationship between the General Secretariat of the OAS and the CIM. “It is because of the CIM’s importance that we have decided to include its Executive Secretariat in the Executive Council of the General Secretariat, so that it may contribute to our most important decisions and above all to remind us constantly of the priority that this Organization must accord to gender affairs.”
For her part, the President of the CIM and Chilean Minister of Women’s Affairs, Laura Albornoz Pollmann, said that with these changes the CIM “enters a new era,” adding that the year 2010, in which the Inter-American Year of Women will be celebrated, “not only will be the year of the CIM, but rather will be the year of the OAS in women’s affairs.”
