For example, women who believed they could occasionally refuse sex were four times more likely to experience GBV from an intimate partner. Men cited acceptability of violence and gender inequality as two main reasons for GBV, and almost all of them reported hitting their female partners as a "form of discipline," suggesting that women could improve the situation by "[learning] to obey [them]."</dd></dl> Another driver of gender inequality in Solomon Islands is the traditional practice of <a href="/wiki/Bride_price#Solomon_Islands" title="Bride price">bride price</a>. Although specific customs vary between communities, paying a bride price is considered similar to a property title, giving men ownership over women. Gender norms of masculinity tend to encourage men to "control" their wives, often through violence, while women felt that bride prices prevented them from leaving men. Another report issued by the WHO in 2013 reported that 64% of women aged 15–49 who had ever had an intimate partner had experienced some kind of violence by the partner.<a href="#cite_note-214">[213]</a> In 2014, Solomon Islands officially launched the Family Protection Act 2014, which was aimed at curbing domestic violence in the country.<a href="#cite_note-215">[214]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Literature">Literature</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Solomon_Islands&action=edit&section=45" title="Edit section: Literature">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Further information: <a href="/wiki/Solomon_Islands_literature" title="Solomon Islands literature">Solomon Islands literature</a></div> Writers from Solomon Islands include the novelists <a href="/wiki/John_Saunana" title="John Saunana">John Saunana</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rexford_Orotaloa" title="Rexford Orotaloa">Rexford Orotaloa</a> and the poet <a href="/wiki/Jully_Makini" title="Jully Makini">Jully Makini</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Media">Media</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Solomon_Islands&action=edit&section=46" title="Edit section: Media">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Newspapers">Newspapers</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Solomon_Islands&action=edit&section=47" title="Edit section: Newspapers">edit</a>]</div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_newspapers_in_Solomon_Islands" title="List of newspapers in Solomon Islands">List of newspapers in Solomon Islands</a></div> There is one daily newspaper, the <a href="/wiki/Solomon_Star" title="Solomon Star">Solomon Star</a>; one daily online news website, Solomon Times Online; two weekly papers, Solomons Voice and Solomon Times; and two monthly papers, Agrikalsa Nius and the Citizen's Press. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Radio">Radio</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Solomon_Islands&action=edit&section=48" title="Edit section: Radio">edit</a>]</div> Radio is the most influential type of media in the Solomon Islands due to language differences, illiteracy,<a href="#cite_note-216">[215]</a> and the difficulty of receiving television signals in some parts of the country.
