Justice for Pacific & Caribbean Women & Girls
Organization information
International Center for Advocates Against Discrimination (ICAAD)
Location: Chappaqua, United States of America
Summary
When women and children in Pacific Island and Caribbean region access the formal court system in gender-based violence cases, they face numerous barriers that block their pathway to justice. ICAAD's evidence (through review of 1000s of cases) shows the driving force behind this problem is gender discrimination, which includes: stereotypes, rape myths, and specific customary practices. By engaging civil society and the judiciary we use the insights from data to inform our interventions.
