THE Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs (MWYCFA) hast set for itself, a holistic approach to tackle violence against women girls, and children.

Minister Freda Tuki Rangirei emphasized that in 2025, the ministry hopes to cement its partnership with faith-based organizations, and churches through training and funding to utilize the government’s policies.

The Minister stated that this partnership will also allow going hand in hand with biblical teachings in hopes of tackling the high rates of gender-based violence in the country which is said to be one of the highest in the region.

Speaking in a parliamentary session last week, Tuki said the ministry is planning to further enhance its partnership with non-government organizations (NGOs) and civil societies through their expertise to achieve the ministry’s objectives.
