The ninth Commonwealth Women's Affairs Minister Meeting (9WAMM) will be held in Barbados from 7-9 June 2010.

Commonwealth Women’s Affairs Ministers Meetings (WAMMs) have been held triennially since 1985, i.e., over the last 20 years. They have provided strategic opportunities for ministers, senior officials, civil society organisations, and partner agencies to discuss critical issues in advancing women’s empowerment and gender equality, and to contribute to Commonwealth and global agenda-setting processes.
