As the 5th Pacific Women’s Ministerial Meeting gets underway in Rarotonga today the Prime Minister Sopoaga of Tuvalu has stressed the inter-connection of poverty and climate change with advancing gender equality. All efforts for gender equality will be compromised, he said, if there is no strong emphasis on the effects of climate change and sea level and recommended that the ministerial meeting should also align itself with the Majuro Declaration recently adopted by Pacific Forum leaders ahead of the COP19 to send a strong signal to the rest of the world. He also noted that support for the advancement of principles of women’s legal and human rights needs practical localization strategies including clarity on partnerships.
