Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is addressing media after making an announcement about how New Zealand will support the equality and empowerment of Fijian women and girls.
"The recent Fiji Gender Assessment showed big gaps in pay between men and women amongst a range of other disparities - this funding will go towards programmes that help address the issues and inequalities the report highlighted," she said.
"The Fiji Gender Action Programme — Marama Ni Viti — draws together support for a range of programmes into one plan and will receive a $12.6 million contribution to implement.
"Funding will go to the Ministry for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation as well as Fiji Women’s Rights Movement, Women’s Fund Fiji, Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre and UN Women."
