The Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat has produced a communications package consisting of two booklets and accompanying posters for Pacific Island parliamentarians, with assistance from the Office for Women.
The booklets focus on two key areas of gender equality in the region: promoting and encouraging women's involvement in government and decision making, and the Pacific nations' ratification and implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
At the launch on 25 September 2008 the Hon Dame Carol Kidu, the Minister for Community Development Papua New Guinea, stated, "What is special about the publication is that it is for Pacific women by Pacific women".
