“Improving access to justice for all Solomon Islanders is a crucial initiative and the ministry is looking forward to working closely with the wider justice sector to achieve it, Dr Mae said.
“The justice sector has an important role to play in contributing to the national effort to improve gender equality and social inclusion, especially by making sure all Solomon Islanders are equal when it comes to accessing justice,” he said.
