Dominican Republic: Dominican Republic Introduces National Gender Equality Policy for the Agricultural Sector
The Dominican Republic has introduced the National Gender Equality Policy in the Agricultural Sector to address existing gender disparities affecting rural women. This policy, backed by Dominican legal frameworks and international commitments, aims to enhance women’s participation, resources, and economic security within the agricultural sector. The goals of the new policy align with global standards on gender equality, food security, and rural development, especially under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and reflects the principles outlined in the United Nations International Year of the Woman Farmer, which empowers women to lead sustainable farming practices. The following report is a summary of the gender policy launched November 2024.
