On August 13th, 2026, the Spouses of CARICOM Leaders Action Network (SCLAN) Belize, and the Office of the Special Envoy for the Development of Families and Children, continued its “Engaging Men and Boys to Advance Gender Equality and Help Prevent Gender-Based Violence” training initiative at Restore Belize.

During this session, 23 students successfully completed two EMB training modules focused on:
1. Building Healthy Relationships
2. Domestic Violence & Gender-Based Violence

Through education, awareness, and meaningful discussions, we remain committed to empowering young people to become advocates for respect, equality, healthy relationships, and violence-free communities.

Today, I had the privilege of attending the presentation and discussion on Mexico’s Feminist Foreign Policy, hosted through the collaboration between the National Women’s Commission and the Embassy of Mexico in Belize, delivered by Her Excellency Ana Luisa Vallejo Barba, Ambassador of Mexico to Belize.

The presentation provided valuable insights on how feminist foreign policy can advance gender equality, strengthen human rights, and encourage the meaningful participation of women in leadership and decision - making. The discussion that followed presented an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and reflect on the importance of inclusive policies that address discrimination while ensuring the equal rights, opportunities, and dignity for all.

I extend my sincere appreciation to the National Women’s Commission and the Embassy of Mexico to Belize for organizing this insightful discussion. As we continue our work to strengthen families, empower women and girls, and build more inclusive communities, partnerships and conversations like these play an important role in driving lasting and meaningful change.

On this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, we stand united under the theme “Trapped Behind the Scam” to shine a light on the growing threat of human trafficking hidden behind deceptive job offers, online scams, and false promises of a better life.

Traffickers prey on vulnerability, using manipulation and fraud to lure victims into situations of exploitation from which escape can be difficult and dangerous. This year's theme reminds us that human trafficking can happen to anyone, anywhere, and that awareness is one of our strongest tools for prevention.

By learning to recognize the warning signs, promoting safe online practices, and supporting survivors, we can help protect individuals and communities from falling victim to these crimes.

As we celebrate the International Day of Friendship, we recognize the power of friendship to build bridges, foster understanding, and create a more peaceful and compassionate world.

In a world facing many challenges, friendships help to promote acts of kindness, empathy, and solidarity that can inspire positive change, strengthen social connections, and build resilient communities.

Together, let us cherish the friendships that enrich our lives and extend a hand of friendship to others, because through mutual understanding and support, we can help create a world rooted in peace, unity, and hope for all.

Motivation Monday

Never let anyone else define your worth or decide your direction. There will always be voices that doubt you, but they don’t get to choose your outcome. Stand firm in who you are, even when it’s hard. Confidence is built by refusing to shrink yourself for others.

Motivation Monday

Difficult times don’t mean you’re being defeated. They often mean you’re being shaped. What feels heavy right now may actually be building strength you’ll need later. Growth doesn’t always look or feel comfortable while it’s happening. Trust that you’re being prepared, not punished.

Every child deserves to be seen, heard, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.

I am honored to be part of the Child Protection and Child Justice Steering Committee, a significant step toward strengthening a more coordinated, child-centered system that places the best interests of every child at the heart of every decision. This Committee reflects our shared commitment to ensuring that no child falls through the cracks and that prevention, protection, and justice work hand in hand.

As I shared in my remarks, the true measure of our success is not only how we respond when harm occurs, but how effectively we prevent it. We must continue to listen to the voices of our children, especially those who are too often unseen or unheard, and turn their experiences into meaningful action.

I commend the Ministry of Human Development, Family Support and Gender Affairs, UNICEF Belize, the National Commission for Families and Children, the Office of the Attorney General, and all partner agencies and stakeholders for their dedication to building a stronger child protection and child justice system for Belize. Through collaboration, we can ensure that every child grows up safe, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.
