Pacific women target equal representation at leadership level

Quoting Radio New Zealand – 28 March 2019

“Women leaders in the Pacific want to see more of them in leadership roles including equal representation in their respective parliaments.

“Delegates at the Pacific Women in Power Forum in Fiji this week agree there is a need for training on economic empowerment, integrity and leadership for women in the region.

“Opening the forum, Fiji President Jioji Konrote, urged the delegates to share their experiences and knowledge on key issues that will help Pacific women into leadership roles.

"We all know the under-representation of women at any level of governance and decision-making can result in democratic deficit. It has been proven, time and again, that diverse groups make better decisions. This is particularly true when it comes to the task as challenging as representing the views and interests of citizens in any country."
