As for the Director of Gender Links, Mrs Anushka Virasawmy, she underlined that propositions focused, among others, on the availability of electronic bracelets for perpetrators of gender-based violence, and on sensitisation campaigns so as to familiarise the population with the Children Rights Act.<\/p>\n

For her part, the Director of the Mauritius Family Planning and Welfare Association, Mrs Vidya B. Charan, underscored that propositions made to the Finance Minister include a defined strategic plan so as to determine how to tackle the aging population issue in Mauritius.<\/p>\n
