VWC Participates in the 46th Regional Training Programme on Violence Against Women and Girls

The Vanuatu Women’s Centre (VWC) participated in the 46th Regional Training Programme (RTP) on Violence Against Women and Girls, Human Rights and Development, hosted by the Fiji Women’s Crisis Centre (FWCC) in Suva, Fiji.

The four-week intensive programme brings together 42 participants from 12 Pacific Island countries, providing opportunities for learning, analysis, reflection and skills development on violence against women and girls, gender equality, human rights and development.

Participating countries include Fiji, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Palau, Naoero (Nauru), Marshall Islands, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Samoa and Cook Islands.

The participants represent 22 organisations, including women’s crisis centres, government departments, non-governmental organisations and frontline service providers committed to advancing women’s human rights and eliminating violence against women and girls across the Pacific.

Since its establishment in 1995, the Regional Training Programme has become one of the Pacific’s most respected and comprehensive capacity-building initiatives on violence against women and girls, gender and women’s human rights.

VWC is proud to be part of this important regional learning platform and to strengthen knowledge, skills and connections that contribute to ending violence against women and girls in Vanuatu and across the Pacific.
