The Fiji Women's Crisis Centre (FWCC) is an autonomous, multi racial non-governmental organization established in 1984. The Fiji Women's Crisis Centre is committed towards the elimination of violence against women in Fiji and the Pacific through the provision of crisis counseling and support services to women and children who are survivors of violence and advocating for policy and legislative changes through lobbying, training and networking and institutional support. The FWCC firmly believes in working under the rule of law, democracy and human rights.
The following report illustrates to the Council how Fiji's situation has halted collaborative efforts towards ending violence against women on a national level under a democratic framework, how the situation has temporarily disabled democratic legislative changes, criminal provisions needing immediate changes by parliament, women’s access to justice, police’s inadequate response to violence against women and media censorship.
