Human rights in Trinidad and Tobago
Human rights in Trinidad and Tobago comprise a series of rights legally protected by the Constitution of Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad and Tobago has ratified a number of international treaties and conventions on human rights and parts or principles of these legal texts have been integrated into the domestic laws of the country. The Ministry of the Attorney General has established the International Law and Human Rights Unit to ensure adherence to these principles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ag.gov.tt/Features/The-Law-and-You )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.guardian.co.tt/news/2013-12-09/our-human-rights )〕
== Gender equality ==
Section 4 of the Constitution prohibits discrimination on the grounds of sex.〔 In 2014, Trinidad and Tobago ranked 49th on the Global Gender Gap Index of the World Economic Forum, with a score of 0.715, down from its 36th place in 2013. In terms of participation in the labor force, the country ranked 87th, with 59% of women participating as opposed to 82% of men. Women on average received 66% of men's wages for similar work, constituted 29% of the parliament and occupied 6% of ministerial positions. The Gender Affairs Division of the Ministry of Gender, Youth and Child Development is committed to bettering the situation in the country, with the National Gender and Development Policy at the stage of finalization since 2011 as of 2014. In 2010, the country had its first female prime minister, Kamla Persad-Bissessar.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cepal.org/mujer/noticias/paginas/3/51823/Trinidad_and_Tobago_Review_Beijing_20.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2014/economies/#economy=TTO )〕
Violence against women, however, is on the rise, with 689 cases of sexual offences reported in 2013, with an increase of 200 cases since 2011.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.amnestyusa.org/research/reports/annual-report-trinidad-tobago-2013 )〕 According to the US Secretary of State, the government and nongovernmental organizations reported that many incidents of rape and other sexual crimes were unreported, partly due to perceived insensitivity of police, exacerbated by a wide cultural acceptance of gender-based violence. There is a lack of reliable statistics, but women's groups stated in 2013 that over 50% of the country's women suffered abuse. Many community leaders asserted that abuse of women, particularly in the form of domestic violence, continued to be a significant problem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/hrrpt/humanrightsreport/index.htm?year=2013&dlid=220475 )〕
