Africa-Press – Liberia. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Gender, Children, and Social Protection, Williametta E. Saydee Tarr says the Government of Liberia is using technology to address economic and social inequalities affecting women and girls.<\/p>\n

Presenting Liberia\u2019s National Statement to the 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on Minister Tarr said the Government uses digital financial platforms, such as mobile money and 24-hour call centers to ensure that women and girls have access to finance and help against Sexual and Gender-Based Violence.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s session of the Commission on the Status of Women is on the theme: \u201cInnovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls\u201d.<\/p>\n

Tarr informed the conference that mobile money platform is used to pay salaries and other financial benefits to public sector workers and transfer cash to beneficiaries of the Liberia Social Safety Nets Program, which supports vulnerable households, particularly female-headed households.<\/p>\n

She also spoke of efforts to use digital platforms and technology to improve agricultural development and women\u2019s access to markets and credit facilities, as well as access to energy, learning opportunities, and disaster risk management.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to continue to improve women\u2019s access to disaster risk reduction, risk transfer, and finance by enhancing scope to include mobile-enabled disaster, health and life insurance, weather forecasts and alerts, and climate-smart agricultural advisory on digital platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to also improve women\u2019s access to energy for their household and productive purposes. Our investment plan targets solar asset financing and strengthening women\u2019s skills in the energy sector.\u201d Tarr expanded.<\/p>\n

Amongst others, the government supports these efforts through the ongoing implementation of the \u2018Liberia Women Empowerment Project\u2019, a 44.6-million-dollar project approved by the World Bank in 2022 to comprehensively support women\u2019s economic and social empowerment in Liberia.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the upcoming Presidential and Legislative Elections in October, Tarr asserted that the Government of Liberia is working with relevant partners to ensure that women fully participate in Liberia\u2019s transition from manual registration to a digital registration system, not just as voters but also as candidates.<\/p>\n

Currently, there is a transition of the voter registration processes from manual registration to a digital registration system using biometrics during this electoral year. As part of this process, we are ensuring that women and girls above the age of 18 are registered and within time to enable their full participation,\u2019 Tarr said.\u201d<\/p>\n

We are also working with relevant stakeholders, including political parties, women’s groups, civil society organizations, and community-based organizations, to see more women on the ballot paper.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tarr then emphasized the need for increased support to address violence against women, particularly online violence against women candidates, by building the capacity of grassroots leaders and organizations to change attitudes and behavior towards women, their values, roles, and responsibilities.<\/p>\n
