Empowering communities through equity and inclusion for a sustainable and resilient future.

To promote the well-being and protection of families, advance gender equity, ensure the inclusion and rights of persons with disabilities, and strengthen labour systems through effective policies and partnerships.

The Ministry of National Mobilisation, Social Development, et al. has received technical assistance from the Human Dignity Trust (HDT) towards a comprehensive review of the sexual offences provisions in the Criminal Code of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
