The Women in Construction and Trade (WICAT) Fiji hosted a lively discussion with Minister for Women, Children and Social Protection, Hon. Sashi Kiran, alongside Jenny Setto, at Privé Bar, Toorak Central.

The event brought together strong, passionate, and action-oriented women from the construction and trade industry, who shared insights and challenges faced in a male-dominated sector.

The Minister’s presence was a significant milestone, highlighting the importance of women’s empowerment in trade and construction.

WICAT Fiji also acknowledged the support of male allies from companies such as Jash Renovations, Jitend Electrical, and Pacific Building Solutions, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in advancing opportunities for women in trade.

Although some members of the WICAT network could not attend due to work, home, and community responsibilities, the event reinforced a shared message—keep going, push forward, and support one another.
