First Lady Filomena Katonivere is encouraging local artisans to gain as much exposure and empowerment opportunities as possible to make creative choices.
Speaking at the National Craft Exhibition at the Old Nausori Municipal Market yesterday, Katonivere says women and families have been economically empowered daily to make strategic life choices in light of difficult economic situation.
She adds economic empowerment further enables women to be financially independent with the ability and strength to influence and advocate for issues that affect them and their families.
