Gender Justice &
Equality

Monitoring accountability and supporting implementation of existing gender equality and justice laws, policies, and plans of action.

Why This Objective

The Main Objective

The main objective of the programme is to monitor accountability and support the implementation of existing gender equality and justice laws, policies, and plans of action and enactment of new ones by the state.

No country can ever truly flourish if it stifles the potential of its women and deprives itself of the contribution of half its citizens.
