Over the years, the movement has become an important avenue for awareness, advocacy, and action, linking gender equality to the broader human rights and development agendas.  The 2025 global theme for the 16 Days campaign by the United Nations was: “UNITE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls”. This theme highlights a growing and urgent issue: technology-facilitated gender-based violence. Read More. "Gender-based violence is a real problem. We have to be real in how we face it" "Gender-based violence is a real problem. We have to be real in how we face it. As an organisation, we take this seriously because we've seen the worst that can happen." This was the message from SPC’s Director General Dr Paula Vivili to staff across the organisation, marking the start of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence campaign. SPC reaffirmed its commitment to building a Pacific where every woman and girl lives free from fear, harm and discrimination. Dr Vivili reminded all staff that violence - whether in our homes, communities, workplaces or online - undermines our shared vision of a peaceful, safe and equal region. Read more. Pacific peoples perspectives: 16 Days As digital technologies become increasingly embedded in everyday life, women and girls across the world are facing rising levels of abuse in online spaces.

From the TFGBV Pacific Learning Network Many in the Pacific are unaware of how technology is being used by perpetrators of gender-based violence to further abuse and harm survivors – known as technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). In the Pacific, there is a dramatic rise in awareness-raising activities to ensure people are aware of TFGBV, including the laws, services and support in place to address it. Hear the conversation and stories shared by the five speakers who work in the Pacific addressing GBV, including TFGBV, who came together last week for the TFGBV Pacific Learning Network’s latest information exchange, held 27 November for 16 Days.

International Women's Day 2026 To mark this year's International Women's Day 2026, the Pacific Community launched its Gender Equality Flagship Design Document. The Flagship is an internally coordinated organisational approach that brings together SPC divisions and programmes to strengthen, align, and deliver SPC’s support for gender equality across the Pacific region. The launch was officiated by Mereseini Rakuita, Principal Strategic Lead for Pacific Women and Girls, who highlighted SPC’s longstanding leadership in advancing gender equality, disability inclusion, and social inclusion. Read more. Meet women making a difference at SPC This International Women’s Day, we celebrate five inspiring women whose work is helping shape resilient communities across our region, reflecting this year’s theme: “Rights. Justice. For All Women and Girls.” Through strengthening disaster preparedness, championing water security, managing knowledge systems, and fostering regional partnerships, their contribution is helping ensure Pacific women and girls are seen, heard, and empowered. Meet the women at SPC making a difference: GBV 101 for SPC's Senior Leadership Team Farzana Gulista Rahim, the Gender Based Violence Adviser for Pacific Women Lead at SPC, recently brought her expertise to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) as she facilitated an introductory gender equality training with a focus on Domestic Violence. This was part of the socialisation of SPC’s DV Standard Operating Procedures. The session opened with reflections on the ongoing challenges faced by women and girls across the Pacific, particularly SPC staff and the urgent need for meaningful action at the organisation’s highest level. As the training unfolded, Farzana guided the SLT through the core concepts of gender-based violence, its causes, its impact on communities, the workplace and the ways it often goes unseen.  Youth perspectives: Women's rights This year’s theme for International Women’s Day, “Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls”, deeply resonates with the ongoing commitment of the Pacific Community (SPC) to promote gender equality and equity in the region.   SPC believes that youth in the Pacific have a lot to offer, not only in perspectives, energy and creativity but also in positively contributing to creating equal opportunities for women and girls.  SPC asked young people why it is important for the region to be aware of women's rights and how education can contribute to this.  SPC and gender equality - A Her'Story At the Pacific Community (SPC), progress toward gender equality isn’t just policy, it is also the people who shape these policies and oversee implementation through their persistent efforts. As part of this year's International Women's Day we are celebrating women who have shaped SPC's journey in the gender equality space since its inception in 1947. The following story shines a light on the trailblazers, quiet achievers, and courageous women who have moved SPC forward over generations. Their voices, leadership and resilience continue to strengthen our work and inspire the next wave of Pacific women and girls. Dive into their journeys, celebrate their impact, and join us as we continue building a more equal, inclusive, safe and equal Pacific for all. Read more. Charting course for gender equality flagship Launched during IWD 2026 celebrations, work is progressing well towards SPC’s Gender Equality Flagship, of which Pacific Women Lead (PWL) at SPC is the anchor investment. The Theory of Change for the flagship has been endorsed by SPC’s CRGA Sub-committee on the Implementation of the Strategic Plan, symbolising the flagship as a vaka: a shared vessel carrying SPC’s collective journey toward gender equality across the Pacific. SPC recognises that progress on gender equality cannot be achieved alone. It relies on collaboration and partnership with stakeholders across the region to ensure that Pacific women and girls, in all their diversities, enjoy their human rights, live free from violence, and are empowered to equitably share in resources, opportunities, and decision-making alongside men and boys. The design overview document has been finalised, but we have been designing and implementing for the last 3 years.

From community early warning networks in Vanuatu to women first responders in Samoa, to Pacific women standing beside Pacific men before the highest court in the world to argue for climate justice” - Mereseini Rakuita, SPC’s Principal Strategic Lead - Pacific Women and Girls. “When women’s leadership becomes norm and when decision-making is shared between men and women; communities survive, adapt and thrive. This is where Balance the Scales becomes a leadership responsibility.” Rakuita was addressing over 200 participants virtually for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology 2026 International Women’s Day event – a Bureau-wide conversation connecting gender equity with the organisation’s culture and climate mission.

Feleti Teo to 5,990 delegates from 186 countries from across the world, as he delivered remarks at the opening of the Women Deliver 2026 Conference. In a moment where funding for gender equality is contracting instead of expanding, his message was urgent and unambiguous: we cannot achieve progress if we continue to under-resource the very work that sustains it. He shared that across the world and in the Pacific region, women’s rights organisations, feminist movements, and community leaders are being asked to do more, with less. Institutions are being defunded. Civic space is shrinking. And yet, the expectations to deliver change remain. Without sustained, predictable, and long-term investment, gender equality cannot be realised. Not in policy. Not in practice. Not in people’s daily lives. Because change at this moment demands more than commitment, it demands sustained, long-term investment in the movements, organisations, and women leading this work every day. This message was also reiterated by other speakers at the opening of the WD2026 including by the UN Deputy Secretary General Amina Mohammad, and the 27th Prime Minister of Australia, Honourable Julia Gillard. The Women Deliver 2026 is currently underway in Narrm (Melbourne) and brings together gender equality activists, feminist organisations, youth leaders, government officials and policymakers, NGOs and community organisations, researchers, media, and business leaders. This year’s conference is organised and hosted by the Pacific region. The Pacific Women Lead (PWL) is Australia's largest gender equality investment for the Pacific region and PWL representatives and partners are part of this gathering. Gender-responsive budgeting and gender mainstreaming - Women Deliver side event The Pacific Women Lead, on day 1 of the Women Deliver 2026 Conference, led a powerful side event on gender-responsive budgeting and gender mainstreaming bringing Pacific leaders and partners together to reflect honestly on what is holding progress back, and what is working. Framed around navigating our Blue Pacific towards gender equality, the talanoa surfaced a clear and consistent message: the challenge is not a lack of commitments, but a gap between commitment and action. Across contexts, speakers highlighted how gender equality efforts continue to be constrained by limited resources, weak institutional capacity, and systems that treat gender as an “add-on” rather than embedding it at the core of planning and budgeting. Insights from Fiji Women’s Rights Movement reinforced that what is needed now is stronger political will, sustained investment, and robust accountability mechanisms. Watch video here. Panel discussion by the Gates Foundation At the Women Deliver Conference 2026 #WD2026, SPC's Principal Strategic Lead for Pacific Women and Girls, Mereseini Rakuita, called for a shift in how we approach menstrual health.

Pacific Girl Voices from Within: Empowering Adolescent Girls through Storytelling Local storytellers in Tonga, Vanuatu and Fiji are engaged at the local level to ensure the lived experiences of adolescent girls are told by adolescent girls and young women in their own context. Their storytelling methods are informed by a draft Storyteller Guide that was developed by experts in creative arts for Social Development Programme (now HRSD) with the aim to revitalize the guide and to test its usability and practicality with the aim of bringing the perspectives of young storytellers to inform the guide before its finalization. Honouring the voices of girls in Vanuatu  As we commemorated the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in December last year, we honoured the lives of women and girls we have lost or who continue to experience violence, whether physical, emotional, or mental. Each year, the 16 Days of Activism serves as a reminder that violence of any kind should never be tolerated, and that their wellbeing matters deeply, including for adolescent girls across Vanuatu. The Vois Blo Mi project, implemented by CARE Vanuatu with support from the Pacific Girl Programme, has continued to uphold this message.  Read more. Enhancing Institutional Response to Adolescent Girls in Vanuatu From 16–20 March, building on the Vanuatu Unplanned Pregnancy Research and previous PCA training, the first sitting of the Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) was successfully convened with technical support from the Pacific Girl Team, in collaboration with EQAP and GEDSI advisors across PHD and HRSD. The committee comprises key national and regional stakeholders, including the Vanuatu Qualifications Authority, Vanuatu National University, Ministries of Education and Health, CARE Vanuatu, Malvatumauri National Council of Chiefs Secretariat, Vanuatu Family Health Association, and Fiji National University, providing strong multi‑sector oversight and legitimacy. Through three scheduled convenings this year, the IAC will steer the development of an accredited training framework grounded in adolescent girls’ issues, with a focus on gender equality, community wellbeing, and protection. The framework draws on evidence and practice related to adolescent girls’ lived realities, safety, health, and leadership, ensuring relevance and impact across systems. Once completed, the programme will be delivered through the University of Vanuatu, establishing a formal, nationally recognised learning pathway for leaders, public servants, and civil society actors. This initiative will strengthen institutional capacity to respond to adolescent girls’ needs and contribute to more inclusive, safe, and respectful communities across Vanuatu. Pacific Girl team supports a GEDSI–PCA training programme From 9–13 March, the Pacific Girl team supported a GEDSI–PCA training programme in Vanuatu for Provincial Health Officers, aimed at strengthening the health system’s ability to better respond to the needs of adolescent girls. The training applied Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) and People-Centred Approaches (PCA) principles to promote rights-based, culturally appropriate, and “do no harm” service delivery. Delivered in collaboration with the Public Health Division, GEDSI advisers, and GBV specialists from the Pacific Women Lead programme, the workshop enhanced participants’ capacity to provide safe, inclusive, and adolescent-responsive health services, while equipping them to identify and address structural, gender-related, and accessibility barriers that influence health outcomes.  Partnership News Good Governance Training in Central Tanna  Congratulations to the Yumi Tugeta Project, delivered by CARE in Vanuatu in partnership with the Central Tanna Area Council.
