Pacific Oceanic Women Enhancing Resilience (Women POWER) Project Launch 2026

“The network aims to enhance its impact through the Women Power Program, addressing the disproportionate care work burden on Fijian women, who spend an average of nine hours daily on care work compared to men’s two to three hours. This hinders women’s economic participation. The project, supported by Global Affairs Canada and Oxfam in the Pacific, seeks to alleviate this burden, contributing to women’s empowerment and economic inclusion.”
