CARICOM Triennial Award for Women

The CARICOM Triennial Award for Women was established in 1984.  With this Award, our community honours Caribbean women who, through their leadership, have made a particular contribution to the socioeconomic and sociocultural development of women in the Region and of Caribbean people as a whole.   

This award takes the form of a 15-carat gold pin inscribed with the interlocking Cs of our Community’s logo.  Accompanying the pin is a scroll encased in a leather pouch.
