This is the second progress report of Pacific Women Shaping Pacific Development (Pacific Women). It provides a summary of the program’s achievements and challenges from July 2015 to June 2016. Pacific Women is a 10-year $320 million initiative that aims to support women – regardless of their income, location, disability, age or ethnic group – in the 14 Pacific Island Forum countries to participate fully, freely and safely in political, economic and social life. Pacific Women supports countries to meet the commitments made in the 2012 Pacific Islands Forum Leaders’ Gender Equality Declaration.
