SOGAVARE CALLS FOR MORE AWARENESS ON C”WEALTH YOUTH PROGRAMS

Department of the Prime Ministers Office and Cabinet
By George Herming

The Solomon Islands Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare today called for increased awareness on Commonwealth Youth Programs which remain obscure among the majority of commonwealth youths.
He referred to local statistics in Solomon Islands which shows that although Honiara hosts the Commonwealth Youth Program South Pacific Centre, 40 percent of the countries youth population live in rural areas and know nothing about Commonwealth values.
“The majority of the country’s population does not know about the centre’s existence, let alone the services it provides,” he said.
Sogavare also noted that women which make up have of the population of Solomon Islands need to know their place in the Commonwealth.
He said gender insensitivity and child abuse is a common occurrence in most Solomon Islands households.
The Prime Minister said the widening gap suggests that joint efforts of the Commonwealth in addressing the issues maybe ineffective.
“To make a difference we need have a collective duty to address their needs,” he said.
The Prime Minister said his government had recognized this gap and recently moved to establish the Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs.
“It is our hope that this strategic gap filling by the government will champion the needs of women, youth and children in our country,” Sogavare said.
He said the new Ministry will work in partnership with international agencies such as UNIFEM, CYP and Save the Children Australia to promote the needs of women, youths and children.
