Women's Unit
The
Women's Unit has been set up to serve as a focal point for women
issues. It functions through a network of 12 women centres and
about 1000 women's associations throughout the island. One of
the main objectives of this unit is to strengthen gender mainstreaming,
taking into account the reproductive, productive and social roles
of women.
The
services provided range from informative, educational and communication
on issues such as economic empowerment, environment, legal education,
to home economics, weight management, leisure, sports and stress
management. Training on dressmaking, home economics, hair dressing,
floral arrangements, handicrafts, tailoring etc. are also provided
at the Women Centres.
