Irwin LaRocque thanked the UN system for its continuing role in assisting Member States&#8217; development and in advancing the work of the Secretariat.<br \/> The Secretary-General said that some of the work will focus on developing model legislation and regional-specific tools to address behaviour change to tackle the root causes of Gender-based Violence and to ensure strong evidence-based advocacy.<\/p>\n<p> The UN-Women representative, Tonni Ann Brodber, in her remarks drew attention to the financial and health costs of gender-based violence, one of the most egregious forms of gender inequality, \u00a0which she said countries could not afford.<\/p>\n<p> Thirty to fifty percent per cent of all murders are intimate partner violence related&#8230;.. [and] it is not just gender based violence, but the fact that we are not tapping into the potentials of our young boys and young women, she emphasised<\/p>\n<p> Ms. Brodber commended CARICOM for its leadership on the issue and reiterated the support of UN_Women.<\/p>\n<p> The signing took place during the official opening of the Thirty-Ninth meeting of the Community Council of Ministers.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Photo Caption: <\/strong>CARICOM Secretariat and UN Women sign MOU: L-R (sitting): UN-Women rep.
