A two-day workshop to review the 2018-2022 policy of the Malaita Provincial Women successfully concluded yesterday at the Green House conference room.
The workshop’s objective was to produce an updated Malaita provincial women’s policy that is responsive, inclusive and aligned with national and global gender equality commitments.
The workshop provided an opportunity for women and stakeholders to discuss the best ways to improve the policy to serve women in the province.
Concluding the workshop, provincial women’s officer for Malaita, Isabel, and Central provinces, Cyrene Vai Deve thanked senior officers and leaders, provincial women, and non-government organisations and partners for their participation throughout the workshop.
She also acknowledged the presence of the media in capturing and for advocating for the challenges and issues affecting women in society.
She said the workshop was vital and significant because it talked about the real and serious issues that impact the lives of women and future of children in the province.
“On behalf of my team, I would like to thank you all for your participation in this workshop.
“Also, I just want to take this opportunity to thank the media for being part of this workshop, promoting and advocating for women, and capturing the real issues affecting their lives.
“Togetherness during this workshop is meaningful as we discuss the lives of our women, the challenges they face, and the way forward to reduce these challenges,” she said.
She said the Ministry of Women will be supporting the Malaita Provincial women’s body in terms of policy formation.
