Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley of Trinidad and Tobago, celebrated by Women Parliamentarians of the Caribbean, has been ranked 99th on Forbes’ 2025 list of the World’s 100 Most Powerful Women, being the only Caribbean leader to make the cut this year. Mottley’s recognition is a reflection of her growing global influence, particularly her leadership in climate justice and international financial reform. Her efforts, like the Bridgetown Initiative, have significantly influenced global conversations around debt relief and climate financing for vulnerable small island states, ensuring Caribbean voices are represented at the highest levels. The inclusion of Mottley in the Forbes list emphasizes the potential of small states to shape global policy and stands as a significant moment for Caribbean women in politics, confirming that principled, people-centric leadership from the region continues to receive international respect.
