To respond to the issue of gender inequality, including discrimination of women and violence against women, The World We Want 2015 Website features a consultation process on gender equality in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The consultation aims to initiate an exchange of views on how the post-2015 development agenda “must include gender equality as a priority”. The consultation is divided into different discussion blocks. The second discussion comprises three sections that will be addressed simultaneously: structural roots of inequality, discrimination and violence; capacities to make choices; and participation, impact and power. It will follow a first discussion on progress and challenges for achieving gender equality in the region, and will precede another discussion on priorities and strategies to influence the agenda.
