Lynda Tabuya, the Women, Children and Social Protection Minister of Fiji, took part in the Feminist Finance side event at the ongoing Beijing +30 Asia Pacific Conference in Bangkok, Thailand. During her address, Tabuya emphasized the significant yet often overlooked contributions of women to Fiji’s economy.
She pointed out that the discussions held at this conference are timely, as participants reflect on the progress and challenges faced over the past thirty years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration. This participation underscores Fiji’s dedication to enhancing women’s economic empowerment and advancing gender equality.
This event serves not only as a platform for highlighting women’s essential roles in the economy but also as an opportunity for leaders to collaborate on future strategies for improvement. By acknowledging and celebrating women’s contributions, we can foster a more equitable and prosperous society.
Overall, Fiji’s involvement in this critical conversation reinforces the hope for a future where gender equality is prioritized and women’s contributions are recognized and valued.
