The dynamics of women’s economic participation is changing.
This is evident as 500 women exhibitors from every province of Fiji bring their traditional artistic skills and knowledge and their authentic and contemporary products to the National Women’s Expo.
Speaking to Fijivillage, 60-year-old Vika Nasilasila says that she is humbled to be given the opportunity to showcase her talent at a national level.
Nasilasila who hails from Nailaga village, Ba says that she lost her home during Tropical Cyclone Winston and while she tries to rebuild her home, she hopes to make a good amount this week to help her and her family continue to rebuild.
Minister for Women Mereseini Vuniwaqa had earlier highlighted that the main aim is to provide an opportunity for women to network, market and secure products for orders.
The theme for the Women’s Expo this year is “Be Empowered ‑ Be the Change”.
The expo will be held from today till Friday at the Vodafone Arena.
