Nauru hosts 2nd Micronesian Ministers for Women Conference


The 2nd Micronesian Ministers for Women Conference (MMWC) was hosted in the Republic of Nauru under the theme 'Eõ Ngage - Eõ Yaran - Añ Towepo' and convened over three days, 16-18 April.

 

Chaired by Minister for Women and Social Development Affairs (WASDA) Charmaine Scotty, the conference featured presentations from regional organisations and delegations across Micronesia on issues impacting women's lives, fostering dialogue with the Nauruan government and stakeholders.

His Excellency President David Adeang along with Marshall Islands' Senator Daisy Momotaro, Guam's Former Senator Carlotta Guerrero, and SPC Principal Strategic Pacific Women Lead Mereseini Rakuita were the guests of honour.

 

Aiming to foster collaboration and discussions, attendees included Nauru government officials alongside their regional counterparts, where they had the opportunity to share best practices, discuss challenges, and develop strategies for advancing gender equality.

Minister Scotty outlined the region's top priorities for gender equality and women empowerment in her keynote address which includes ending violence against women, women's economic empowerment, health, education, gender and culture, and people with disabilities.

 

"It is critical that we are clear on our areas of greatest need, to guide our work within ministries for women - and mainstreamed across all government ministries," Minister Scotty said.

With the support of the Pacific Islands Forum and the Pacific Community, the MMWC's outcomes document, Añ Towepo Declaration, was drafted, finalised and endorsed by the participants, and signed by the heads of delegations.

 

Secretary for WASDA Joy Heine said the outcomes document, "will help guide us forward" and that "it also ensures we are prepared for the Triennial Conference of Pacific Women, with agreed and documented gender equality priorities".

 

The 3rd Micronesian Ministers for Women Conference will be hosted by the Federated States of Micronesia in 2027.
