Yet women leaders across the region have been meeting every year for the past four decades to discuss goals and drive action to address gender inequality and the most pressing development challenges in the Pacific.<span id="more-186938"></span></p> <p>One of the critical issues discussed at the <a href="https://www.spc.int/15-Triennial-Conference-Pacific-Women" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.spc.int']);">15th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women</a>, convened recently by the regional development organisation, Pacific Community, in Majuro, Republic of the Marshall Islands, was endemic levels of violence against women. Up to 68 percent of women in Pacific Island countries have suffered physical or sexual violence by a partner, more than double the global average of 30 percent, reported by the <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/violence-against-women">World Health Organization (WHO).<div id='related_articles'> <h1 class="section">Related IPS Articles</h1> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.ipsnews.net/2024/08/in-tonga-the-un-secretary-general-declares-a-global-climate-emergency/" >In Tonga the UN Secretary-General Declares a Global Climate Emergency</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ipsnews.net/2024/08/pacific-community-photographic-winners-bring-impacts-of-climate-change-to-life/" >Pacific Community Photographic Winners Bring Impacts of Climate Change to Life</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.ipsnews.net/2024/04/pioneering-digital-initiative-empowers-pacific-islands-tackle-climate-disasters/" >Pioneering Digital Initiative Empowers Pacific Islands to Tackle Climate Disasters</a></li> </ul></div></a></p> <p>The conference is an invaluable opportunity for government, civil society and donor stakeholders to monitor progress on addressing this issue and identify action plans. And, for many Pacific women leaders, an important part of the long-term vision is preventing violence against women in the next generation. Educating the youth of today to change attitudes and behaviours that are perpetuating these human rights violations, and the severe socioeconomic repercussions is a critical strategy that the Pacific Community is working to roll out across the region.</p> <p>“Young men and women can be impactful agents for change on the ground,” Mereseini Rakuita, Principal Strategic Lead for Pacific Women and Girls in the SPC executive team, told IPS. “The root cause of gender-based violence is unequal power relations between men and women. This necessitates the engagement of young men and women in advocacy work to enhance their understanding about this violence and its link to inequality.”</p> <div id="attachment_186942" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-186942" class="wp-image-186942 size-full" src="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Photo-Day-1-of-the-15th-Triennial-Conference-of-Pacific-Women-held-in-Majuro-RMI.-Picture-Credit-Pacific-Community-SPC.jpg" alt="Group photo of delegates to the 15th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women held in Majuro, RMI.

The SCE program is supported by the European Union. It employs a ‘whole of School’ approach by training teachers in four Pacific Island countries, namely Kiribati, Vanuatu, Tuvalu and the Republic of the Marshall Islands, to embed education about human rights, gender equality and gender-based violence into the formal curriculum. And, also, informally, through the cultivation of respectful behaviours and supportive advocacy.</p> <p>“In Kiribati, the SCE programme has rolled out nationally across all schools, whereas in Vanuatu it’s focused on six schools in the capital, Port Vila. In Tuvalu, it reaches four schools and 22 in the Marshall Islands across urban and rural locations,” Rakuita explained. “It successfully reaches many rural and remote communities; however, there are so many more to reach given the challenges of transport and resources, remembering that several Pacific Island countries have more than 300 islands.”</p> <div id="attachment_186941" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-186941" class="wp-image-186941 size-full" src="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Senator-Daisy-Alik-Momotaro-left-with-young-Marshallese-women-sing-prior-to-the-first-session-on-the-third-and-final-day-of-the-15th-Triennial-Conference-of-Pacific-Women.-Photo-credit-SPC-Chewy-Lin.jpg" alt="Senator Daisy Alik-Momotaro (left) with young Marshallese women sing prior to the first session on the third and final day of the 15th Triennial Conference of Pacific Women.

The proportion of women who have experienced physical or sexual violence by a partner, ranges from 68 percent in Kiribati and 66 percent in Fiji to 62 percent in Samoa, reports UN Women. Globally, the Pacific Islands ranks the worst in the world for this form of violence. Fifty one percent of women in Melanesia have ever suffered physical or sexual violence, compared to 33 percent in Sub-Saharan Africa and 25 percent in Latin America and the Caribbean, according to <a href="https://asiapacific.unwomen.org/en/countries/fiji/ending-violence-against-women" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://asiapacific.unwomen.org']);">WHO</a>.</p> <div id="attachment_186943" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-186943" class="wp-image-186943 size-full" src="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-and-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr-1.jpg" alt="" width="630" height="420" srcset="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-and-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr-1.jpg 630w, https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-and-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-and-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr-1-629x419.jpg 629w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><p id="caption-attachment-186943" class="wp-caption-text">Marshall Islands’ Minister for Culture and Internal Affairs, Jess Gasper Jr. Credit:</p></div> <p>“There is a need for greater investment in addressing the root causes of violence, such as tensions over economic insecurity in a family, which is exacerbated by climate change impacts and loss of livelihoods, and misinterpretation of the bible needs to be supported with transformative approaches to biblical teachings. And media content needs to be produced through various platforms to reach audiences in a way that educates men and boys, as well as women and girls,” Sharon Bhagwan Rolls, Programme Manager for the Pacific Women Mediators Network in Fiji, told IPS.</p> <p>Gender inequality is the central cause of violence against women and girls. Making tangible progress to address this issue is hampered by additional barriers, including low levels of education in remote areas, perceptions of women’s lower social status, abuse of alcohol and financial abuse within families. And now, in the twenty-first century, the issue is further exacerbated by technology-facilitated gender-based violence.</p> <p>It is also a major challenge to overcome the strong stigma of domestic and sexual violence in communities that influences the reluctance of survivors of gender-based violence to report these crimes to the police, resulting in a high level of impunity for perpetrators.</p> <p>“In Fiji, only half of women living with violence have ever told anyone about it and only 24 percent of survivors of violence in Fiji have ever sought help from an agency or formal authority,” Rakuita claims.</p> <div id="attachment_186944" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-186944" class="wp-image-186944 size-full" src="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/From-L-to-R-RMI-Senator-Daisy-Alik-Momotaro-Tuvalu-Prime-Minister-and-Minister-of-Gender-Equity-and-Women-Empowerment-Mr-Feleti-Teo-and-Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr..jpg" alt="From L to R RMI Senator Daisy Alik-Momotaro, Tuvalu Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equity and Women Empowerment, Mr Feleti Teo, and Marshall Islands’ Minister for Culture & Internal Affairs Jess Gasper Jr. Credit: SPC/Chewy Lin" width="630" height="420" srcset="https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/From-L-to-R-RMI-Senator-Daisy-Alik-Momotaro-Tuvalu-Prime-Minister-and-Minister-of-Gender-Equity-and-Women-Empowerment-Mr-Feleti-Teo-and-Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr..jpg 630w, https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/From-L-to-R-RMI-Senator-Daisy-Alik-Momotaro-Tuvalu-Prime-Minister-and-Minister-of-Gender-Equity-and-Women-Empowerment-Mr-Feleti-Teo-and-Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr.-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.ipsnews.net/Library/2024/09/From-L-to-R-RMI-Senator-Daisy-Alik-Momotaro-Tuvalu-Prime-Minister-and-Minister-of-Gender-Equity-and-Women-Empowerment-Mr-Feleti-Teo-and-Marshall-Islands’-Minister-for-Culture-Internal-Affairs-Jess-Gasper-Jr.-629x419.jpg 629w" sizes="(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px" /><p id="caption-attachment-186944" class="wp-caption-text">From L to R: RMI Senator Daisy Alik-Momotaro, Tuvalu Prime Minister and Minister of Gender Equity and Women Empowerment, Feleti Teo, and Marshall Islands’ Minister for Culture & Internal Affairs, Jess Gasper Jr. Credit: SPC/Chewy Lin</p></div> <p>Survivors are, therefore, often trapped in a continuous cycle of abuse when spouses or partners control women’s access to financial resources and the means to independence. And the effects on women’s lives are devastating. Beatings and injuries from violent attacks leave deep physical and mental wounds, including disability, while sexual violations expose women to sexually transmitted diseases. The damage to a woman’s mental health ranges from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder to a high risk of suicide.</p> <p>The broader costs of domestic violence to island societies and nations are immense. In Fiji, 43 women are physically maimed by domestic assaults every day and, in Papua New Guinea, up to 90 percent of all injuries presented by women to health facilities are due to gender-based violence, reports the Pacific Community. Studies in Vanuatu show that children with mothers who suffer domestic violence are far more likely to drop out of school. And it impacts national economies, such as Fiji, where violence contributes to 10 days of lost work time per employee per annum.</p> <p>The support of Pacific Island governments and male leaders, in partnership with women, is essential to any meaningful progress.</p> <p>“If most leaders in the Pacific are men, then their engagement is critical,” Rakuita explained. “We have some great examples in the Pacific of male leaders taking on this critical developmental challenge. The PNG National Parliament has a Standing Committee on gender-based violence as an oversight mechanism on the country’s response to GBV efforts. This was driven by male leaders and led by them—male leaders who recognise the deep impacts GBV is having on their communities and have had enough. They have rightly exercised their power whilst in office to create something sustainable.</p> <p>There are now signs that the SCE programme, Pacific Girl and other initiatives are triggering leadership in young islanders. At SCE there are after-school clubs for students, organised to directly engage boys and girls in more than 150 primary and secondary schools in the four participating countries. “Students who have participated in the clubs are now demonstrating leadership roles in their schools, such as leading school assemblies, building positive and healthy relationships among their peers and conducting awareness sessions about violence against women in schools and communities,” Rakuita said.</p> <p>For Kulene, there are major long-term gains of reducing gender-based violence, which would significantly “contribute to Tuvalu’s sustainable development goals,” whether it is improving good health, diminishing poverty, or strengthening peace, justice and economic development.</p> <p>IPS UN Bureau Report</p> <p> </p> <div id="authorarea"><a class="twitter-follow-button" href="https://twitter.com/IPSNewsUNBureau" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://twitter.com']);" data-show-count="false" data-lang="en" data-size="large">Follow @IPSNewsUNBureau</a><br /> <script>!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+'://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js';fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, 'script', 'twitter-wjs');</script> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ipsnewsunbureau/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://www.instagram.com']);" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img style="display: block;
