The Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection (MoWECP) implemented the Women and Child-Friendly Villages (Desa Ramah Perempuan dan Peduli Anak/DRPPA) programme to advance the five priorities of the 2020–2024 period. These priorities include promoting women’s entrepreneurship with a gender perspective, strengthening the role of mothers and families in education and childcare, reducing violence against women and children, decreasing child labour, and preventing child marriage. The initiative specifically targets rural and remote areas to address discrimination, empower women, and protect children.
