PM proposes Women and Child Affairs Ministry be given to a woman

Date:

The Ministry of Women and Child Affairs should be given to a woman in the formation of the new Cabinet this time, said Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena, speaking to a meeting held with the Ruling Party MPs, sources said.

For two and a half years under the Gotabaya Rajapaksa regime there was no separate cabinet ministry for women and child affairs and the subject was entrusted to men ministers.

Therefore, the Prime Minister has pointed out that entrusting this ministry to men who have no practical understanding of the needs of women and children would be a meaningless action and that having women’s representation in the Cabinet would be important.
