As the 77th Session of the United General Assembly continues, SCLAN held a meeting among its members to provide an update on current projects and trajectory for its 2023 work-plan.

Following the side event “Health Financing and Gender Equality”, the meeting also created a space for members to provide insight on the current events within their home countries and to explore areas for further collaboration and partnership.

SCLAN is a non-governmental organization whose membership include Spouses of Prime Ministers and First Ladies from the Caribbean region who are committed to advocate for HIV, gender-based violence, teenage pregnancy, cervical cancer, and mental health.

Thank you to all members who attended both in person and virtually. Your continued commitment will help us to achieve a Caribbean where no woman or child is left behind.
