Minister for Gender Equality and Working Life

Ministry of Employment

"We will step up our efforts to combat gender-based violence and harmful practices, including honour-related violence and oppression. All forms of violence, including physical, psychological, economic and sexual violence, must stop. It is about the right to live your life as you choose and decide over your own body and finances. We also need to focus more on justice and gender equality in health, and on the right of all women and men to a good working environment."

  • Time to step up efforts to combat violence and promote gender equality

    Women and men must have the same power to shape society and their own lives. International Women’s Day is a reminder of how important gender equality is.
