At the 70th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women, Her Excellency Eselealofa Apinelu, High Commissioner of Tuvalu, delivered Tuvalu’s country statement, highlighting the vital link between justice, gender equality, and climate resilience for women and girls in small island developing States.

Tuvalu’s approach emphasizes culturally grounded, community-centered justice while strengthening legal frameworks to ensure safety, dignity, and equal rights. From free legal aid and gender-responsive policies to addressing climate-related vulnerabilities, Tuvalu is working to make justice accessible, effective, and resilient.

As H.E. Apinelu affirmed, justice is not an abstract principle, it is a lifeline. Tuvalu remains committed to inclusive, equitable justice systems that protect women and girls everywhere.
