As such the Women Affairs and Gender Equality division is responsible for policy development and oversight of key activities under the Women Affairs and Gender Equality Policy and plan of action. The division also provides regulatory functions under the Family Protection Act which aims to eliminate all forms of violence. In addition, the division also manages community grants for women groups at the grassroots level. Finally, the division promotes building resilience of women and ensuring the targeted humanitarian aid is provided for women in times of disasters. These key focus areas are further summarized in the following outputs, activities, and target indicators for the division during this corporate plan cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as the DFAT funded positions in the division is coming to an end in 2026-2027 financial year, the division seeks to slowly absorb these positions with two positions absorbed in the 2025-2026 financial year and one more staff in the 2026-2027 financial year. In addition, the division also includes a new proposed project with UNWomen. This project amounts to USD$414,800.00 which comes under the Pacific Partnership for Ending Violence against Women and Girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-opt-id=445217231  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:752\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:752\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:600\/h:440\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:220\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:564\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:1536\/h:1127\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mlyhqn6dmvbr.i.optimole.com\/w:1744\/h:1280\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/mia.gov.to\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_5290.jpg 1744w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the division The ministry recognizes the important role of women in society.
