COUNTRY GENDER PROFILE: THE REPUBLIC OF MAURITIUS

The Gender Country Profile publication for the Republic of Mauritius documents the progress achieved towards the attainment of gender equality and examines how far the Republic of Mauritius has been able to address gender gaps and empowerment of women in line with the various regional and international conventions ratified. The gender country profile  also enables the identification of specific areas that require targeted intervention and where gender inequality is still a pertinent problem. The Gender Country Profile for the Republic of Mauritius includes an updated sector wise gender gap analysis in line with the EU Gender Action Plan (GAP) III. The GAP III is an ambitious vision on gender equality and women’s empowerment for EU external action. It seeks to catalyse progress on empowering women and girls, and safeguard gains made on gender equality since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and its Platform for Action on 15 September 1995
