Phenomenal Woman Ep:030 - Dr. Rosina Wiltshire - Focus On Your Goal, Not The Detractors

The drive for gender equality is well documented and publicised in Euope and the US but we hear very little about the battle for gender equality in the Caribbean. Today I'm delighted to pay my respects and interview gender equality pioneer Dr. Rosina Wiltshire, the first CARICOM Advocate for Gender Justice with an extensive career in International Development and Gender Equality. She supported the South African Transition Team led by Nelson Mandela in mainstreaming gender across the policy spectrum.     

Dr. Wiltshire lectured at the UWI for 20 years in International Politics and International Development and was Visiting Professor at the Institute for International Development and Cooperation, University of Ottawa and the Norman Patterson School for International Affairs at Carlton.

She was a member of the Planning Committee for the 1991 World Women’s Congress for a Healthy Planet held in Miami.  She also was a part of the official delegation and the NGO delegation to the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio 1992.

Dr. Wiltshire holds a Master’s and a Ph.D in Political Science (International Relations) from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA and a B.Sc (Economics) from UWI Mona.  She is a Reiki Master and is committed to equality, justice and peace.
