Lynda Tabuya, the Minister for Women, Children, and Social Protection in Fiji, participated in the Feminist Finance side event at the Beijing +30 Asia Pacific Conference taking place in Bangkok, Thailand. During her address, she emphasized the significant yet often overlooked contributions that women make to Fiji’s economy.
Tabuya pointed out that the discussions held at the conference are timely, allowing leaders and stakeholders to reflect on the progress made and the challenges faced over the past three decades since the Beijing Declaration. Fiji’s involvement in this event underscores the nation’s dedication to women’s economic empowerment and the pursuit of gender equality.
This commitment is seen as crucial not just for societal advancement but also for fostering a more equitable economy in Fiji. By raising awareness of women’s contributions, the conference aims to inspire further action towards rectifying gender disparities in the workforce.
In a hopeful spin, the engagement of leaders like Tabuya at international platforms reflects a growing acknowledgment of women’s vital roles and the urgent need to address gender inequalities. This collaborative effort could pave the way for stronger policies that uplift women’s participation in all sectors of the economy, ultimately benefiting the entire nation.
