[PDFlist] SHARE THIS POST and HAVE YOUR SAY. - Review of the Pacific Leaders Gender Equality Declaration (PLGED)

[Paradise Tabucala]

Pacific Friends,

The Pacific Leaders Gender Equality Declaration (PLGED) was adopted at the 43rd Pacific Islands Forum in August 2012 in Rarotonga, Cook Islands as a result of the concerns of Pacific Leaders that overall progress in the region toward gender equality was slow.
The PLGED renewed commitment to lifting the status of women in the Pacific and empowering them to be active participants in economic, political, and social life.

The Declaration may be viewed here:
https://www.forumsec.org/2012/08/30/pacific-leaders-gender-equality-declaration/

To progress these commitments, Leaders committed to implement specific national policy actions to progress gender equality in the areas of :
i) gender-responsive government programs and policies,
ii) decision making,
iii)  economic empowerment,
iv)  ending violence against women,
v) and health and education.

While there has been some good progress, including regional and national policies, resources, and national commitment, much more remains to be done to progress gender equality. As a result, a review of the PLGED is timely.

The review of the PLGED is an opportunity for the Pacific to take
stronger actions and efforts to address gender inequalities, explore
options to strengthen regional consensus to support national efforts
and provide a platform for coordinating regional cooperation.

Your views will help shape action and next steps for the Declaration,so let us know what's working, what isn't, and what's missing at:
