UN Compilation >> Tonga, Review Documentation, 43rd Session, May 2023

The United Nations country team recommended that Tonga implement equitable, inclusive, accessible, resilient and gender-responsive social protection policies and programmes for all women, including those in informal work, unpaid care and domestic work, those who are self-employed, migrant workers, those with disabilities and those affected by long-term illnesses. Social protection policies must be grounded in a human rights-based approach and strengthened by supportive cultural practices. [Para 25]
