The Ministry of Gender plays a pivotal role in orchestrating initiatives to prevent and address Gender-Based Violence (GBV) in Lesotho.

The Department of Gender is committed to fostering equality of opportunities among women, men, girls, and boys, ensuring that development endeavors have an equitable impact on all gender-related issues. Our objective is to facilitate the seamless integration of gender considerations into development practices, promoting the full engagement, participation, and collaboration of individuals across all genders in their productive lives.

Guided by its policies, the Department of Gender systematically incorporates gender concerns into national and sectoral policies, programs, budgets, and plans, striving to realize gender equality throughout the development process.
