Grenada is under pressure to reform its laws after receiving 171 recommendations during its 2025 Universal Periodic Review at the United Nations in Geneva. Among the key suggestions was a call to legalise abortion under all circumstances by repealing Section 234 of the Criminal Code, which currently imposes a 10-year prison sentence for unlawful abortion.
Iceland led the push for broader human rights reforms, including abolishing the death penalty, adopting a reproductive health policy, and decriminalising same-sex relations. It also urged the elimination of barriers to justice for survivors of sexual violence and called for comprehensive sexual education in schools.
The United Kingdom recommended repealing legal discrimination based on sexual orientation and ratifying international human rights treaties. Other countries, including Italy, Nepal, and the Netherlands, called for stronger laws to combat gender-based violence and protect women and children.
Grenada is expected to review and respond to the recommendations as part of its ongoing human rights commitments.
