Crisis Centre
It provides crisis counselling and legal, medical and other practical
support services for women and children who are sufferers and survivors
of violence committed against them by men. The FWCC is also involved
in public advocacy and community education on gender violence. The

Fiji Women's Rights Movement
The Fiji Women's Rights Movement was formed in 1986 by a group of
women who believed that changes can happen if the law treats women
and men equally. It was therefore very important that a group be
established to primarily lobby for law reforms.
