Lynda Tabuya, the Women, Children and Social Protection Minister of Fiji, participated in the Feminist Finance side event during the Beijing +30 Asia Pacific Conference taking place in Bangkok, Thailand. During her address, she emphasized the important yet often overlooked role that women play in Fiji’s economy.
Tabuya expressed that the discussions at the conference are particularly relevant, as leaders and stakeholders review the progress made and the challenges faced three decades after the Beijing Declaration. This reflects a renewed commitment to fostering women’s economic empowerment and advancing gender equality, integral themes at the conference.
Fiji’s involvement in these conversations signals a strong dedication to enhancing the socio-economic status of women and ensuring their contributions are recognized within the broader economic landscape of the country.
In summary, the ongoing discussions in Bangkok showcase a global commitment to women’s roles in the economy, aiming to drive forward initiatives that support gender equality. This momentum represents a hopeful step towards a more inclusive future where women’s contributions are valued and acknowledged.
