Type:RecommendationSession:23rd session, November 2015Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Take the necessary measures to combat domestic violence, including the creation of shelters for victims.ExplanationThe Domestic and Sexual Violence Complaints and Response Protocol has been completed and reviewed by legal drafter. The document has been transmitted for consideration and approval by the Cabinet during the month of March. This is one of the activities to mark International Women's Day.
Funding has been received from the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives for sensitization training for men on gender based violence. Training commenced on February 15th 2016 at Her Majesty's Prison and a second training will be conducted in the community. Funds will also be used for production of Public Service Announcement (PSAs).
ImplementationNational Report:
Para 43) Domestic violence is the most common form of gender-based violence which predominantly affects women and girls. Within the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, several institutions and agencies are involved in providing service to victims of domestic violence, facilitating the report of incidents to the relevant authorities.
Para 44) Through assistance from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), The Domestic Violence and Sexual Violence Complaints and Response Protocol was launched in November, 2018. The policy educates key stakeholders in the healthcare, education, childcare, social support, legal and criminal justice system sectors and provides guidelines for training on the appropriate procedures to follow when a crime of this nature materializes. It addresses first response procedures, best practices for law enforcement, emergency and medical services, social services, victim advocacy and legal action. The Department of Gender Affairs has held various sensitization workshops, consultations and panel discussions, aimed at increasing the awareness of stakeholders about this Response Protocol and its use throughout 2019. Para 45) Saint Kitts and Nevis is also an avid participant of the annual 16-day campaign on Violence against Women and Girls. The 16-Day Campaign which was observed in the Federation from November 25 to December 10, 2019 was designed to demonstrate solidarity with survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, raise awareness, prevent the occurrence wherever possible, and advocate for relief and justice for the victims.
Para 46) In 2018, the Special Victims Unit (SVU) relocated to a more conducive, safe and comfortable space for victims to report incidents of sexual violence without fear of reprisals. In addition, the Department of Gender Affairs in partnership with several faith-based organisations, provide financial support and temporary shelters for victims of domestic violence who have no alternate housing solution. This rental allowance covers a period of three months.
Para 47) Different public campaigns were also lead by the Ministry of Gender Affairs which featured primarily on popular call-in radio programmes. Guest panelists included staff from the Special Victims Unit of the Royal Saint Christopher and Nevis Police Force, and the National Men’s Council.
Para 48) Collaboration with the Ministry of Education resulted in the involvement of primary school children in public service announcements to condemn domestic violence and promote a kinder, gentler society; and secondary school children in public awareness raising activities, such as marches and street theatre.
Para 83) … the Ministry [of Social Services] has a directory of private lawyers who have indicated an interest in providing pro-bono services to victims of domestic violence.

Gender Sensitization sub-project has been submitted to the Caribbean Development Bank for approval for funding under Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) 7, an initiative through the Caribbean Development Bank. This will include funds for PSA's, training for persons in gender and the re-introduction of gender focal points in each Ministry.
ImplementationNational Report:
Para 33. The Department of Gender Affairs has a significant responsibility in raising awareness; monitoring and improving the status of women and girls in the country through the implementation of a number of International Conventions and declarations.
Para 34) The Department’s priority areas include the formation of a National Gender Policy, the empowerment of women and girls, the reduction of all forms of gender-based violence, poverty elimination, governance and democracy, and programmes for men and boys.
Para 35) The Department of Gender Affairs functions under a policy framework, which is guided by international and regional commitments including the Sustainable Development Goals, Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the Gender Equality Observatory, (CSW) Commission on the Status of Women in Saint Kitts & Nevis and the Belém do Pará Convention. It has responsibility to fulfil periodic international, regional and national reporting obligations.
Para 39) In 2016-2017 the Department of Gender Affairs led a Gender Sensitization Project designed to provide the wider society with a more sophisticated understanding of gender; to improve gender mainstreaming in the public sector, and to enable the private sector to address and provide more substantial reporting about gender-related issues. Deliverables from this project included the creation of three sector specific training guides and a manual for use with adolescents, the private sector and focal point units within the public sector. Subsequently, 116 focal points across Saint Kitts and Nevis in the private and public sectors, and civil society were trained. Further gender sensitization training sessions were carried out in July and August 2018 respectively. Gender sensitization training continues to be delivered through the Department of Gender Affairs.
Para 40) After a Gender Equality Study was conducted in 2014, the results renewed the Government’s desire to complete a Gender Policy, and in 2018, the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis restarted the consultative process towards its National Gender Policy. The general objective of the gender policy is to advocate for non- discrimination on the grounds of sex and to provide a framework that will assist the Government of Saint Kitts and Nevis in facilitating gender equality and empowerment. The policy will be structured in two parts: gender mainstreaming and gender setting.
Para 41) ‘Gender mainstreaming’ is a strategy embraced by the Government, and is an important initiative that promotes gender equality in institutions policies and programmes. The implications and interests of men and women are considered in order to address unequal social structures. Gender mainstreaming seeks to ensure that gender issues are addressed within the existing development strategies and programmes. Gender setting will seek to transform the existing agenda through the systematic application of a gender perspective. Other strategies will include gender sensitization, training, promotion, ensuring public ownership of the policy, ensuring data disaggregation, promoting women’s empowerment and gender equality, and establishing a gender responsive, monitoring and evaluating mechanism within government and other agencies.
Para 42) The Government recently received approval for additional funding, from UNESCO, to complete the drafting of said policy. The document is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2021 and will be presented to Cabinet for approval thereafter.

- Adolescent pregnancy
Type:RecommendationSession:23rd session, November 2015Status:AcceptedContents:Continue efforts and take measures to prevent the incidence of teenage pregnancy.ImplementationNational Report:
Para 66) The 1997 Cabinet policy decision which clarified the right of teen mothers still attending school to continue their education led to the establishment of Project Viola in Saint Kitts (2002) and the ‘Second Chance Teen Mothers Program’ in Nevis (2007). These longstanding programs, run by the Departments of Gender Affairs, cater to schoolgirls aged 14-19 who become pregnant; and aim to provide an enabling environment in which teen mothers can complete their secondary education. Program activities include workshops on parenting skills and professional development, career exposition and financial assistance to facilitate educational advancement. With support from the Basic Needs Trust Fund, a project was implemented in 2016 to 2017 to enhance the structures and programming of Project Viola.
Para 67) The strategies implemented through this programme have reduced the instances of teen pregnancy. The birth rate to teenage mothers has steadily declined and fell from 95 births in 2016 to 54 births in 2018; a fall of 43%. The programme relies on education and training and while this remains the main focus, there is greater emphasis being placed on families assisting in the process.
Para 68) A project manual was developed and issued to school principals to ensure that they are guided by the process. Social assistance is provided to remove financial barriers to education, e.g. cost of day care for babies, extra tuition, books and uniforms. Support for teenage mothers through the Project Viola and Second Chance Teen Mothers Programmes are two of the most significant poverty reduction initiatives, which have had long lasting and far reaching effects.
Para 69) Although it is a Government funded project, from the onset, the programme has been heavily supported by the private sector. They have played a significant role in providing scholarships for teen mothers for tertiary level education and also provided job attachments, and stipends for their transportation, lunch and school.
Para 70) Private individuals have also helped with the programme by introducing teens to Technical and Vocational Skills. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), after seeing the success of the programme, decided to provide a significant amount of support to the teen mothers. Project Viola is now recognised by UNICEF as a model of best practice across the Caribbean region. Owing to the success of Project Viola, in 2018, five of the 13 teen mothers (38%) were enrolled at continuing and tertiary education institutions.
UN Compilation:
Para 13) The United Nations subregional team noted that although women in Saint Kitts and Nevis could decide freely on the number and the spacing of the birth of children, adolescents had little access to information about sexual and reproductive health. The legal age of consent for sex is 16 years, but the legal age of majority is 18 years. Below the age of majority, the law requires parental consent for medical treatment, including access to family planning services. Access to contraceptives and other aspects of sexual and reproductive health care and services for adolescents who are aged 16 and 17 is thus restricted, even though they are legally allowed to have sex.
Para 15) Saint Kitts and Nevis is implementing recommendations to develop a formal health policy and to address teenage pregnancy. Although there is no national health insurance system, there is an exemption from all charges and user fees for vulnerable populations, including children and young people under 18 years of age;

Para 8) Although the Government did not support universal periodic review recommendations associated with LGBTQI rights, Saint Kitts and Nevis has shown some openness to dialogue on the issue.
Stakeholder Summary:
Para 6) Human Rights Watch (HRW) informed that, since Saint Kitts and Nevis’ last UPR, it has conducted in-country research that evidenced the discrimination, violence, stigma, and prejudice that beset LGBT people’s enjoyment of basic rights.
Para 7) HRW stressed that Saint Kitts and Nevis did not have any comprehensive laws that prohibited discrimination on grounds of gender identity and sexual orientation, including in the employment, housing, access to education, and health care contexts. In this lacking legal context, discrimination against LGBT people seeped into everyday activities, whether it was availing of services such as health care, school, or riding a bus, or social activities such as going to the movies or shopping. Discrimination in the workplace can also occur. Notably, LGBT persons who faced discrimination in any sector lacked any legal avenue to seek redress for themselves or accountability for perpetrators.
Para 9) JAI reiterated that international human rights law customarily protected the right to privacy and the right to be protected against arbitrary and unlawful attacks on or interference with one’s private and family life. One’s reputation or dignity are also protected. International human rights law further establishes that matters of sexual orientation and gender identity are protected by the right to privacy and the right to be protected against arbitrary and unlawful interference with, or attacks on, one’s private and family life and one’s reputation or dignity. By criminalizing same-sex activity in the penal code, Saint Kitts and Nevis violates these international obligations. Saint Kitts and Nevis are also members states to the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), which strives to increase human rights protections in the region.

Type:RecommendationSession:10th session, February 2011Status:Unclear ResponseContents:Ratify/adhere to the international instruments to which it is not yet a party, such as ICCPR [...]; ICESCR; [...]; and the Optional Protocols to CRC.ExplanationWith regard to ratification of human rights instruments, the delegation indicated that Saint Kitts and Nevis had approached the consideration of the recommendations in a realistic manner, committing only to those actions that were within its ability and competence to implement and maintain. The delegation also stated that Saint Kitts and Nevis could not commit, in the short term, to signing and ratifying new treaties without undertaking a meticulous assessment of the resources essential to fulfilling its obligations under them.
The work on this aspect of the human rights framework had already commenced. As a part of this process, the Special Committee on Conventions and Treaties would consider these matters and make recommendations to the Cabinet. Notwithstanding that Saint Kitts and Nevis was not yet a Party to all of the instruments, it continued to adopt best practices, and remained committed to the ideals of the Conventions.ImplementationUN Compilation:
Para 1) The United Nations subregional team for Barbados and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) noted that, during the 2011 universal periodic review of Saint Kitts and Nevis, the country received numerous recommendations to ratify or accede to various international human rights treaties and that, although Saint Kitts and Nevis accepted some of those recommendations, it had not ratified any additional core United Nations international human rights treaties.
