The Department of Gender Affairs would like to extend its sincere thanks to the NIAP for inviting us to the Closing Ceremony of the 5th Annual National Internship and Apprenticeship Programme.

It was an engaging and well-received morning celebrating the achievements, growth, and contributions of our young people. We commend the NIAP for its continued dedication to creating meaningful opportunities for the youth of the Turks and Caicos Islands and encourage them to keep up the great work!

We were pleased to receive an award in recognition of our partnership with the NIAP and our participation in the programme through hosting interns. It was a pleasure to play a part in supporting the professional development and growth of our young people.

A special thank you to our amazing interns, Myeisha Stubbs and Isaiah Charite, who supported the Department’s work throughout their six-week placement. We are proud of their contributions and wish them continued success in their future endeavours.

Thank you again to the NIAP for this meaningful partnership and for your continued investment in the future of the Turks and Caicos Islands. 🇹🇨

As we look back, The Department of Gender Affairs was honoured to support The Ministry of Public Safety, Religious & Gender Affairs and Social Welfare to host the National Prayer Breakfast, under the theme “Faith in our Journey; Hope for our Future” commemorating 50 years of Ministerial Governance in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Our team was proud to play a part in bringing this significant occasion together, as over 150 leaders, faith representatives, community members, and distinguished guests gathered in prayer, reflection, and gratitude.

We were pleased to welcome The Most Honourable Dame Cynthia A. Pratt, Governor-General of The Bahamas, whose inspirational words reminded us of the importance of being steadfast in our faith, and whose presence was especially significant to this milestone celebration.

Attendees reflected on five decades of ministerial governance and service, and were reminded of the importance of faith, leadership, unity, and service. This event reaffirmed the need for collective efforts to continue working towards a stronger future for the Turks and Caicos Islands.

The Department of Gender Affairs is pleased to welcome back our Gender Officer, Ivana Dean, following her successful participation in the Caribbean Institute on Gender and Development (CIGAD) Programme at The University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, Barbados.

During the programme, Ms. Dean participated in intensive training alongside professionals from across the Caribbean, strengthening her knowledge and expertise in gender, research, policy, and social development. This valuable professional development opportunity reflects the Department's ongoing commitment to building capacity and enhancing the quality of services provided to the people of the Turks and Caicos Islands.

For the past six weeks, the Department of Gender Affairs has had the pleasure of welcoming two outstanding interns, Isaiah Charite and Myeisha Stubbs!

As participants in the Turks and Caicos Islands NIAP programme, Isaiah and Myeisha brought enthusiasm, dedication, and a genuine eagerness to learn each and every day. Their positive attitudes and willingness to lend a helping hand made them invaluable members of our team.

Throughout their internship, they supported the Department in a variety of ways, including assisting with our annual Love on Me - Girls Empowerment Programme and joining us on field visits to engage with the communities we serve.

We are incredibly grateful for their support and commitment, and we wish them every success as they continue their educational and professional journeys. Thank you, Isaiah and Myeisha, you will always be part of the Department of Gender Affairs family!

All aboard for Day 2! 💜✨

The final day of the Providenciales “Love on Me” Workshop was one to remember!

The day began with Miss International Turks & Caicos Islands , who kicked things off by reminding our girls of the importance of self-love and positive self-affirmations. Through her inspiring words, she encouraged each participant to embrace their worth, believe in themselves, and speak positively over their lives.

Next, the Department of Family and Children Services inspired our girls during their empowering “A Voice with Power” session, encouraging them to embrace the strength of their voices with confidence.

The Department of Behavioural Services then led an insightful “Mental Self-Care” workshop, equipping the girls with practical strategies to prioritize their mental and emotional well-being.

The learning continued as IGA hosted an engaging “Kitchen Care” session, where participants gained valuable knowledge on food safety, proper food storage, accurate measurements, and essential kitchen safety practices.

To wrap up an incredible day, the Jiu-Jitsu Academy delivered an exciting self-defense session, teaching the girls practical techniques to protect themselves, build confidence, and effectively defend themselves against an opponent of any size. As an added bonus, the Academy generously gifted every participant one month of complimentary training, giving our girls the opportunity to continue developing their skills, confidence, and discipline beyond the workshop.

A heartfelt thank you to all of our presenters and partners for sharing your time, expertise, and passion. Your contributions made the Providenciales “Love on Me” Workshop an unforgettable success, and we are truly grateful for the positive impact you have made in the lives of our girls.

Here’s to empowering, educating, and inspiring the next generation—one workshop at a time.

All aboard!

The final stop of the Department of Gender Affairs' "Love on Me" Workshop landed in Providenciales, and Day 1 was nothing short of amazing!

The day kicked off with the Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force's Safeguarding and Public Protection Unit (SSPU), where Inspector Wilson engaged the girls in an informative session on how to be safe in an unsafe world. They learned valuable tips on protecting themselves, recognising online risks, and confidently navigating today's digital world. Inspector Wilson kept the session fun and interactive, ensuring the girls stayed engaged while sending them home with wonderful gifts and lasting memories.

Next, the girls joined Caicos Couture for an exciting Hair Care session, where they learned how to properly maintain and care for their hair. Through a fun-filled Hair Care Bingo and Crown Care Crossword, they expanded their knowledge before getting hands-on experience practicing various braiding and twisting techniques. To top it all off, Caicos Couture rewarded the girls who actively participated throughout the session with discount gift cards for their next hairstyle!

The day concluded with an empowering “Walk with Pride” session led by the contestants of Miss Teen Turks and Caicos Tinell Garland. The girls learned the importance of poise, posture, and confidence, inspiring them to embrace their inner strength and strut with pride.

What an incredible way to end our 2026 “Love on Me" Workshop in, Providenciales!

The Department of Gender Affairs proudly congratulates Sonia Fulford-Missick, President of the Turks and Caicos Football Association and FIFA Council member, for her historic appearance on the global stage at the FIFA Men’s World Cup!

On Saturday, July 18, representing FIFA President Gianni Infantino, Mrs. Fulford-Missick had the distinguished honour of presenting bronze medals to England’s team, after their victory in Miami.

Mrs. Fulford-Missick’s journey from humble beginnings in Grand Turk/Middle Caicos to the pinnacle of international football is a powerful testament to what is possible. As one of the longest-serving and most senior members of the FIFA Council, she continues to shatter glass ceilings and pave the way for future generations.

“Dreams are not defined by where you started or the size of the country you come from, but by your willingness to work hard, remain faithful and embrace opportunities with humility.” Sonia Fulford-Missick

Her presence on the world stage serves as a crucial reminder to everyone in the Turks and Caicos Islands and beyond: Your dreams have no borders. 🇹🇨

The Department is proud to celebrate not just her professional success, but the grace, leadership, and national pride she carries with her wherever she goes. Thank you, for putting our beautiful Islands on the map and showing the world the true strength of our people!
