Regarding Gender, the ministry leads efforts to promote women\u2019s rights and empowerment on Moh\u00e9li. It champions initiatives to increase the participation of women in leadership roles and the economy. For instance, it runs awareness campaigns against gender-based violence and ensures legal protections for women (in coordination with the justice system) are enforced. The ministry may also oversee programs like Women\u2019s Health and Maternal Care (in collaboration with Health Ministry) and literacy programs targeting women who missed formal education. A notable program under this ministry is the Women\u2019s Entrepreneurship Fund, which provides small grants or low-interest loans to businesswomen in Moh\u00e9li, encouraging them to start or expand businesses in agriculture, textiles, retail, etc. Additionally, the ministry hosts events on International Women\u2019s Day and Day of the Girl Child, celebrating achievements and discussing ongoing challenges. Through its Gender Affairs department, it ensures that all government policies are viewed through a gender-sensitive lens \u2013 essentially acting as a watchdog that women\u2019s considerations are integrated (gender mainstreaming) in areas like budgeting, land reforms, and education policy. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3e871d8 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle\" data-eae-slider=\"49106\" data-id=\"3e871d8\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-672aeea\" data-eae-slider=\"7192\" data-id=\"672aeea\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3489230 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"66345\" data-id=\"3489230\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80d563d\" data-eae-slider=\"3002\" data-id=\"80d563d\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-310f5d0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"310f5d0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Ministry of Social Development and Gender also pays special attention to child welfare and family services, ensuring that vulnerable children and single-parent families receive support and that social norms evolve towards greater equity and protection for all.
