“We have heard the call” – says the Prime Minister when he officially declared the opening of the Women’s Leadership and Political Participation Conference at the FFA Conference Room in Honiara this morning.
The high-level conference is a preparatory event for two significant electoral reforms in the country – the Political Parties Integrity Act and the Electoral Provisions Act.
During the conference, Solomon Islands stakeholders and experts from other Pacific Island countries are expected to engage in in-depth dialogue on how best to increase women’s participation and representation in leadership and politics.
